Painted Desert, The (1932)

Two neighboring prospectors find an abandoned baby in a deserted camp. Jeff Cameron (J. Farrel MacDonald) and Cash Holbrook (William Farnum) each want the baby for his own. In a move that ignites a longtime feud, Cash takes the baby, adopts him, and names him Bill. Years later, after Bill (William Boyd) has grown into a man, the cowboys’ argument rages on in the form of a disagreement over property water rights. Bill is forced to choose between Cash and Jeff. To further complicate matters, Bill is in love with Jeff’s daughter. Clark Gable makes an appearance as a bad guy in his first "talkie" movie.
