The plot follows a soldier who returns from World War I and seeks justice for a man falsely accused of murder.
Critical reviews were mixed, with some praising the story and others stating that the action was overridden by the plot.
The board of directors consists of five men: Daniel Plummer, a rancher; Charlie Rudorph, the mayor; Miles P. Styles, a doctor; Whitney T. Wilson, a judge; and Jonathan Wheeler, a banker.
With her help he locates the three men in hiding and encourages them to confess their crimes and face the appropriate legal repercussions.
[1][6] Harold Shumate created the story and wrote the screenplay with help from Tom McNamara,[7] who added further dialogue.
[4] The Film Daily deemed Cross Fire a "swell action story" that would "go big with the youngsters" and "click anywhere".
[10] In a review about fifty years after its release, film historian Richard B. Jewell and RKO archivist Vernon Harbin called it "a dull Tom Keene horse opera" whose "over-elaborate plot" eclipsed the action.
