Death Valley Manhunt is a 1943 Western movie by Columbia Pictures directed by William Berke. The film features Bill Elliott, George 'Gabby' Hayes, Anne Jeffreys, and a host of other talented actors. The story is set in the rugged terrain of Death Valley, where a notorious outlaw named Ed Galt (Dick Curtis) has been committing robberies, murders, and other heinous crimes. The lawmen are after him, but they are no match for him. So, they turn to the best in the business, the one and only Cowboy G-Man, Wild Bill Elliott.

The story begins when Galt and his gang rob a gold mine on the outskirts of town, killing several miners in the process. The lawmen are hot on their trail, but Galt and his gang manage to escape, leaving a trail of destruction in their wake. The sheriff of the town, played by George 'Gabby' Hayes, decides to ask for the help of the Cowboy G-Man. As soon as Bill hears about the situation, he agrees to help and heads to Death Valley.

Once there, Bill hooks up with the sheriff and his posse, and the hunt begins. As they pursue Galt and his gang, they encounter various obstacles, including treacherous canyons, scorching heat, and a lack of water. Along the way, they also run into a beautiful woman named Anne (Anne Jeffreys), who is also after Galt. She teams up with Bill and the lawmen, and together they work their way through the harsh conditions of Death Valley.

The story takes several twists and turns as Galt's gang tries to evade Bill and his group. They try to hide in various places, but Bill's sharp wit and determination prove too much for them. Eventually, they find themselves cornered, and the final showdown begins.

Death Valley Manhunt is a classic Western movie that combines action, adventure, and suspense with beautiful landscapes and a memorable cast. Bill Elliott is the perfect Cowboy G-Man, and George 'Gabby' Hayes is brilliant as the sheriff who accompanies him on this dangerous mission.
