Copper Canyon (1950)
The story of the Old West's valley of violence!
A group of copper miners, Southern veterans, are terrorized by local rebel-haters, led by deputy Lane Travis.

It seems they're wrong; but Johnny's show comes to Coppertown and Johnny romances lovely gambler Lisa Roselle, whom the miners believe is at the center of their troubles.
