Screen legends Gary Cooper (High Noon) and Loretta Young (Lady From Cheyenne) saddle up for an action-packed comedy-western that"s "loaded with laughs" (Variety). With inspired performances and lively direction, Along Came Jones hits the bull"s-eye for classic western entertainment. Melody Jones (Cooper) is a mild-mannered cowpoke who barely knows the difference between a six-shooter and a carbine rifle, but when he rides into Paynesville, he immediately commands the respect - and fear - of the entire town. The locals believe he"s the notorious Monte Jarrad (Dan Duryea), a ruthless outlaw who"s been terrorizing the frontier with his daring robberies and lightning-fast draw. At first, Jones enjoys his newfound fame, but that quickly ends when he finds himself the target of a bloodthirsty posse, a determined private investigator, Jarrad"s double-crossed partners and the most dangerous enemy of all: Jarrad himself!
