The Westerner Review: Watch The Westerner Online Full Movie

In 1882, the town of Vinegaroon, Texas is run by Judge Roy Bean, who calls himself “the only law west of the Pecos.” Conducting trials from his saloon, Bean makes a corrupt living collecting fines and seizing property unlawfully. Those who stand up to him are usually hanged, receiving what Bean calls “suspended sentences.”

Cole Harden’s Daring Escape

Cole Harden is a drifter accused of stealing a horse belonging to Chickenfoot, Bean’s main sidekick. Harden’s conviction by a jury composed of Bean’s acolytes seems certain, and the undertaker waits eagerly for the verdict and hanging. Bean dismisses Harden’s contention that he had bought the horse legally from another man.

Harden’s Con to Delay Execution

Noticing the judge’s obsession with the English actress Lily Langtry, Harden claims to have known her intimately. He cons the judge into delaying the death sentence until Harden can send for a lock of the Langtry’s hair, which he claims to have in El Paso. The delay is long enough for the real horse thief to appear and be killed.

Standoff with Judge Roy Bean

Despite his warped sense of justice and his corrupt nature, Bean likes Harden, considering him a kindred spirit because Harden is as bold and daring as Bean was in his youth. However, Bean tries to shoot him when Harden lends his support to the homesteaders, a group led by Jane-Ellen Mathews and her father Caliphet.

Final Showdown and Redemption

Harden tries to appeal to the judge’s better nature, and he even saves Bean from an attempted lynching. When that fails, and a corn crop is burned and Mr. Mathews killed, Harden sees no choice but to take action. He is deputized by the county sheriff and procures an arrest warrant for Bean.

Arresting Bean in Vinegaroon, now renamed Langtry by the judge in honor of the actress, is impossible with all of Bean’s men around. When Bean learns that Langtry will be appearing in a nearby town, a long day’s ride from Vinegaroon, he has one of his men buy all of the tickets. Bean dons his full Confederate Civil War regalia and rides to see the performance with his men.

Unknown to Bean, Harden has been waiting in the theater to arrest him. A standoff and shootout occur and Bean is fatally wounded during the gunfight. Harden carries Bean backstage to meet the woman whom he has adored for so long. As Bean stares at her, he dies.
