Cole Armin comes to Albuquerque to work for his uncle, John Armin, a despotic and hard-hearted czar who operates an ore-hauling freight line, and whose goal is to eliminate a competing line run by Ted Wallace and his sister Celia. Cole tires of his uncle's heavy-handed tactics and switches over to the Wallace side. Lety Tyler, an agent hired by the uncle, also switches over by warning Cole and Ted of a trap set for them by the uncle and his henchman.

Curiosidades

Albuquerque is a 1948 American Cinecolor Western film directed by Ray Enright and starring Randolph Scott, Barbara Britton, George "Gabby" Hayes, and Lon Chaney Jr. Based on the novel Dead Freight for Piute by Luke Short, with a screenplay by Gene Lewis and Clarence Upson Young, the film is about a man who is recruited by his corrupt uncle to inherit his freight-hauling empire in the southwest, and who eventually defects to his uncle's honest business rival.

Production

The film was based on the Luke Short novel, Dead Freight for Piute published in 1941. The New York Times called it a "stirring tale".

Film rights went to William Pine and William Thomas who ran Pine-Thomas Productions. In January 1946 it was reported Clarence Young was writing the script which would be called The Last Frontier and Johnny Weissmuller would star. By March the project was retitled Albuquerque and it was reported Pine and Thomas were looking "for a big time star". In August 1946 Randolph Scott signed to star.

Arlee Whelan was originally announced for the lead. The following month she was withdrawn for another film and replaced by Barbara Britton.

Albuquerque was filmed on location at Iverson Movie Ranch in Chatsworth, California, and in Sedona, Arizona.

Britton later sued Paramount for $100,000 over the size of her billing.
