Raw Edge (1956)

Universal-International Pictures
Directed by John Sherwood
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Encore)

A rancher-tyrant in lawless Oregon declares that a woman belongs to the first man to claim her, regardless of circumstances. He hangs an innocent man accused of attacking his own wife. The man's brother, Rory Calhoun, shows up and vows to get revenge. The "first man to claim her" law backfires, since it makes every husband the target of lonely lumberjacks and trappers everywhere, including the tyrant who declared it law. This leads to numerous brawls, including Calhoun who gets involved in quite a few himself, especially when he falls in love with the rancher's wife.
