Synopsis

Louis L'Amour brings you the Wild West as you've never heard it before. This classic story, complete with a full cast, stirring music and authentic sound effects, captures the spirit of the frontier -- a land both hard and beautiful, of limitless horizons and ever-present danger. This exclusive production of "Valley of the Sun" brings to life this place and time where men and women of indomitable courage, honor and individualism -- true American heroes -- fight to survive and stake their claim to the future.

Valley of the Sun

Ranch foreman Brett Larane was in a bad way. On his way back to the Double M Ranch and the pretty red-headed owner Marta Malone, straight from a cattle sale in Tucson, he was dry-gulched in the Arizona desert and left for dead with a hole in his side and a grazed scalp. Robbed of the money he'd helped the ailing ranch clear with his own sweat and blood, he found his buckskin horse, clambered on and with sheer determination as fuel, headed out to settle the score.

But how would Larane ambush the cunning outlaws in such a weakened state? With each step of the sandy desert ground he covered, he came closer to realizing his plan. All he had to do was kill the men, find the money, and pray that Marta stayed safe and sound -- and on his side. Don't miss the many other exciting dramatizations of Louis L'Amour's short stories!
