Angel and the Badman

Angel and the Bad Man

John Wayne is Quirt Evans, is a wounded outlaw who is taken in by a Quaker family whose creed has taught them to help those in need no matter what their background may be. Quirt recovers from his injury and is surprised to find a beautiful young woman, the family’s daughter (Gail Russell), caring for him. Grateful for the family’s kindness, Quirt must move on to get even with Laredo Stevens (Bruce Cabot) for killing his foster father. The family is hopeful when Quirt returns to reciprocate their kindness and the love their daughter has pledged to him. Influenced by their teachings, Quirt does not draw when confronted by his enemy, Laredo. But a sheriff (Harry Carey), who was determined to bring Quirt to justice, becomes his guardian angel and shoots Laredo, when he realizes Quirt has joined the Quaker family by forsaking violence. (1947)
