Because he's a tough enough hombre to stand up to Slim (George
Chesebro) and his gang of drunk outlaws, prospector Tom (Tom Tyler) is
made Sheriff of a small town, and when his first action as sheriff is to
book Slim, he has won the favours of the townfolks, especially that of
blind mayor Kane (Lafe McKee) and his daughter Nora (Jayne Regan). However,
Slim's boss - who will eventually be revealed to be banker Luke (Charles
King) - sees to it that Slim is broken out of jail and Tom gets the blame.
Thing is, Slim's gang also empty Luke's bank (as Luke wants to make a big
getaway with his bank's money), and since he has fallen out of favour with
the townsfolks, Tom has to trail Slim and company on his own, and
ultimately only survives the final shootout only because of the silver
bullet Nora once gave him as a lucky charm. In the end, Luke gives
himself away as the secret leader of Slim's gang when he shoots the last
survivor of the gang so he can't betray him, and is consequently brought
to justice ... and Tom finally finds the courage to propose to Nora. As
all Reliable Westerns, this one's obviously cheaply made, but it
does feature enough action and a comprehensible and interesting enough
plot to pretty much make up for its shortcomings, and George Chesebro is
of course a natural in the role of the alcoholic baddie. This all does not
make The Silver Bullet a great film, but at least an ok B-Western.
