Gun Smoke is a 1931 American pre-Code Western film directed by Edward Sloman and written by Grover Jones and William Slavens McNutt.

The film stars Richard Arlen, Mary Brian, Eugene Pallette, and William "Stage" Boyd.

[1][2] Following a killing and robbery in a big city back east, gang leader Kedge Darvas and some of his henchies take a train to a small western town in Idaho, with intentions of hiding out there until things cool down back in Chi or NYC, or wherever they lammed from.

Before long, Darvas figures the town is ripe for the taking and sends word for reinforcements, and each arriving train unloads a few suits and snappy-brim hats.

Then they get rough, kill Sheriff Posey Meed and rile up the citizens, led by cowhand Brad Farley, who had Darvas spotted for a wrong number just by the way he made moves on Sue Vancey.
