He then sank the proceeds into a modest Man hattan steak house. He redecorated it in dude-ranch western, renamed it the Cattleman, promoted it fiercely with various gimmicks, including free stage coach rides for the kiddies.

...intended victim is actually his tough old sidekick (Robert Mitchum), he and his horse head for the hills, and for a series of picaresque encounters with some memorable bit players, including a snake-eyed reptile of a gunslinger (Edward Asner) and a garrulous old Injun fighter (Arthur Hunnicutt). The cattleman hires the gunman to knock off Mitchum, and Wayne comes roaring back to town to help the good guys.
