Drift Fence (1936): cast, story & where to watch

Released in 1936, Drift Fence is an action, romance and western film directed by Otho Lovering, running about 56 minutes. “He Was a One Man Man-Hunter in a Ruthless Fight for Land...And a Girl!” — that tagline sets the tone.

What it’s about. Although Larry "Buster" Crabbe earns top billing, the hero of Drift Fence is former Western star Tom Keene as Jim Travis, who, at a rodeo, meets city dweller Jim Traft, who has come west to erect a fence that will prevent Clay Jackson from continuing his cattle rustling business. A tough Western type, Travis suggests that he impersonate Traft and the building of the fence soon begins. But Travis is opposed by Slinger Dunn and his family, whose small ranch will suffer from the division of the land. A romance between Travis and Slinger's sister, Paula, paves the way for a meeting of the minds, however, and Slinger switches sides completely upon learning that Travis is a Texas Ranger in disguise.

Who’s in it. Drift Fence stars Buster Crabbe as 'Slinger' Dunn, Katherine DeMille as Molly Dunn, Tom Keene as Jim Travis and Benny Baker as Jim Traft, among others.

How it landed. With an audience score of 4.0/10, Drift Fence has proved divisive with audiences.
