Sagebrush Trail (UK title An Innocent Man) is a 1933 American Pre-Code Western film with locations filmed at Bronson Canyon starring John Wayne and featuring Lane Chandler and Yakima Canutt (Canutt plays the leader of the gang as well as doubling for Wayne in several stunts).

[4] Sentenced for a murder he did not commit, John Brant escapes from prison determined to find the real killer.

The gang leader suspects John Brant/Smith but Joseph/Jones Conlon consoles him and takes him on a test run to recon a grocery store with a safe in it.

John Brant writes a note to the grocery clerk (Sally Blake) warning her of the impending robbery.

In August we see Smith is fully recovered and Jones visits him and encourages him to join them in an attempt to rob a stagecoach carrying the payroll for miners.
