While Randolph Scott enjoys first billing, as he does in all his westerns, he doesn't even show up for the first half hour of Rage at Dawn! And let me tell you, it's a very slow, painful half hour without him. The Reno brothers (Forrest Tucker, J. Carrol Naish, and Myron Healey) rob a bank in a small western town and return to their hideout with their sister, Mala Powers. No one can catch them, and finally, federal agents pull out the big guns: Scottie McScottie Pants.
Scottie goes undercover with Edgar Buchanan to pretend to be a great bandit himself, so the group of brothers will want to join his gang. He stages a fake train robbery, earns a bad reputation, and moves to the same small town with an obvious alias as a painter. He starts flirting around with Mala but she doesn't know his real identity. Will it change everything when she finds out he's out to trap her brothers? You can rent this one to find out, but I don't really recommend it. Randolph Scott made so many westerns, and many of them are better than this one. Try The Bounty Hunter or Riding Shotgun.
