Bad Bascomb

An outlaw's heart is stolen by a cute little moppet in this captivating Western adventure starring Wallace Beery, Margaret O'Brien, Marjorie Main and J. Carroll Naish. When Lawmen foil his gang's latest heist, Zeb Bascomb (Beery) escapes by taking refuge in a Mormon caravan, posing as its newest convert. Assigned to work for Abbey Hanks (Main) and bonding with her granddaughter Emmy (O'Brien), Zeb plans to run off with the wagon train's gold, until the head elder appoints him their leader. Caught between the threat of an Indian attack and capture by the law, Zeb can't quite decide whose neck to save, Emmy's or his own.
