'The Man from Utah' is an early John Wayne, poverty row western. Wayne's film persona was not fully formed yet, so film (briefly) experiments with the then popular 'singing cowboy' bit, of course they had to dub The Duke. Plot concerns a gang of bank robbers trying to... well, rob banks, but also rig a rodeo competition. Wayne is a ringer brought in by a Marshall to mess with the bad guys scheme. I think this is supposed to be set in Colorado and Wayne's cover is that he is visiting from Utah, interestingly his character makes a point of not drinking, but film is otherwise ambiguous vis-a-vie Mormonism. **
