Blue Steel is a 1934 American pre-Code Western film starring John Wayne. Directed by Robert N. Bradbury, the film follows John Carruthers, a U.S. Marshal who arrives in town to investigate a series of robberies committed by the mysterious Polka Dot Bandit. However, Sheriff Jake mistakenly suspects Carruthers of being the thief. As they reluctantly team up, they uncover a sinister plot by the town’s wealthiest citizen, Malgrove, who is orchestrating the crimes to force settlers off their land. With tense action, classic Western themes, and Wayne’s early screen presence, this film remains a notable entry in his Lone Star Productions era.
