The Longhorn

The Longhorn is a 1951 American Western film directed by Lewis D. Collins and starring Wild Bill Elliott, Myron Healey, and Phyllis Coates.

The movie opens as Wyoming rancher Jim Kirk flees three bandits intent on robbing the money he earned by selling his Texas Longhorn herd.

Back at his ranch, Kirk explains to his cowhand Andy that he is carrying a cashier's check made out to him, because he feared being robbed.

Kirk walks on foot for miles to find a doctor, who just manages to save Andy's life.

The cattle drive back to Wyoming is arduous, and the crew grows restless when they run out of meat.
