Sheepman Alec Black is suspected by the local population but it is not long before Jeff realizes the man is innocent. Alec even becomes a good friend although he is in love with the same woman as him, Holly. Jeff will manage to arrest the real culprits but not before the latter try to compromise him down.
Lex Barker starred in a few westerns, the Man from the Bitter Ridge is one of his best ones- it's fast-paced, has loads of action, fistfights - the fight in the alleyway between Myron Healy and Barker is well choreographed with some judo locks - and good dialogue and cinematography. Stephen McNally stars as a sheepman, Mara Corday adds some glamour and John Dehner lends some villainy in this colourful oater.
