The Lawless Frontier is a 1934 American Monogram Western film directed by Robert N. Bradbury and starring John Wayne, Sheila Terry, George "Gabby" Hayes, and Earl Dwire.

The picture was made on a budget of $11,000, shot in less than a week at Red Rock Canyon north of Los Angeles, and released by Monogram on Nov. 22, 1934.

[1] The film remains an unusual showcase for Earl Dwire in the lead villain's role.

When Santi shows up with a horse as a gift for Ruby, as a prelude to an abduction, he finds the ranch deserted.

Escaping an arrest and confinement, he follows Santi into the desert, and catches up in time to see the outlaw reach a grisly end.
