Mein großer Freund Shane (1953)
Der Farmer Joe Starrett hat sich mit seiner Familie in Wyoming eine bescheidene Existenz aufgebaut. Doch der Frieden wird immer wieder durch die Männer des skrupellosen Viehzüchters Ryker gestört, der die kleinen Farmer aus der Gegend, wenn nötig mit Gewalt, vertreiben will. Eines Tages taucht ein geheimnisvoller Fremder namens Shane in der Gegend auf. Bei Starrett findet er Arbeit und freundet sich mit dessen kleinem Sohn Joey an. Es stellt sich heraus, dass Shane ein Revolverheld ist. Shane ist entschlossen, den schutzlosen Farmern bei ihrem Kampf gegen Rykers Bande zu helfen...
