In the 1937 Western film, Law for Tombstone, Buck Jones takes the lead role as Buck Clayton, a tough marshal who takes on the task of cleaning up the town of Tombstone. The town is currently run by a corrupt businessman named Larkin, who has been bribing and manipulating the townspeople for years. Buck is brought in by the town's honest citizens, who are fed up with the unfair treatment they've been receiving.

When Buck arrives in Tombstone, he is immediately met with resistance from Larkin and his gang of enforcers. In order to maintain his grip on the town, Larkin hires a notorious gunslinger named Bull Bransom to take out Buck. Buck, however, proves to be more than a match for Bransom and many of Larkin's other hired guns.

As Buck begins to dismantle Larkin's operation, he is aided by a beautiful young woman named Nancy, played by Muriel Evans. Nancy is the daughter of one of Larkin's business associates, and she becomes disillusioned with her father's corrupt ways after Buck saves her from a group of Larkin's thugs. Nancy begins to assist Buck in his efforts to bring justice to Tombstone, even going undercover to gather evidence against the corrupt businessmen.

Throughout the film, Buck faces a number of challenges, including shootouts, kidnappings, and even a jailbreak. As Larkin becomes more desperate to maintain his power, he resorts to increasingly violent tactics, leading to a climactic showdown between Buck and Larkin's forces.

One of the central themes of Law for Tombstone is the idea that justice can only be achieved through the efforts of honest and determined individuals. Buck's unwavering dedication to his duties as marshal serves as an inspiration to the townspeople, who begin to stand up to Larkin's criminal empire. The film also examines the inherent inequalities present in Western society, as the honest and hardworking citizens of Tombstone are exploited by Larkin and his ilk.

Overall, Law for Tombstone is a classic Western film that offers plenty of action, suspense, and romance. Buck Jones delivers a strong performance as the heroic marshal, while Muriel Evans provides a compelling foil as the conflicted Nancy. The film's message of justice and fairness is still relevant today, making it a timeless classic of the Western genre.
