a5c7b9f00b Tim Madigan (Tim McCoy), gentleman gambler who never carries a gun, exposes a card sharp cheating Jose Hernandez (Red Lease.) Later, the gambler is shot after being knocked unconscious by Tim. Through circumstances, Jose thinks he did the killing, while Marshal Tom Barstow (Earle Hodgins) thinks Tim is the guilty party.Tim takes refuge at the ranch of Don Hernandez (Joseph Girard) and his daughter Juanita (Luana Walters), not knowing the youth he befriended is the runaway son of the family. Saloon owner Amos Harden (J. Frank Glendon) and gambler Ace Morgan (Wheeler Oakman), who sat in on the card game preceding the murder, are plotting to acquire the Hernandez ranch by means of a forged document. Harassed by the Marshal, who is seeking to unravel the murder mystery, Tim persuades Jose to return home. Tim then wins enough in a poker game with Harden and Morgan to save the Hernandez ranch. He stakes his winnings against Harden's saloon and wins with aces-and-eights, known throughout the Westthe hand held by Wild Bill Hickok when he was killed by Jack McCall.
A cardsharp comes to the aid of a Mexican family.
As the film's title suggests, the famed aces and eights poker hand plays a role in the outcome of the story, but this time it's not a murder. Cowboy star Tim McCoy portrays Gentleman Tim Madigan, a card sharp who's not above a little bottom dealing himself. His reputation is so renowned that posters warn other gamblers to keep their distance from the well dressed poker player.<br/><br/>Madigan's sidekick is a fellow named Lucky (Jimmy Aubrey), who keeps a pair of dice handy to consider what the day will bring. They ride across the border to Roaring Gulch, California following the murder of a fellow gambler that's pinned on Madigan. Madigan doesn't wear a gun, relying on his wits and power; he can tear a deck of cards into quarters. In Roaring Gulch he's befriended by Don Julio Hernandez (Joseph Girard) and his daughter Juanita (Luana Walters), while her brother Jose mistakenly believes he's the one responsible for the murder back in Nevada.<br/><br/>In an effort to save the Hernandez ranch from crooked saloon owner Amos Harden (Frank Glendon), Madigan challenges him to a poker hand using a clean deck. Seems to me that was quite a gamble, even IF Lucky rolled a seven that day. Perhaps in the end it was Tim McCoy's steely gaze that saved the day, I've never seen it better.<br/><br/>The Marshal (Earl Hodgins) tailing Madigan becomes convinced that he's innocent of the Nevada murder when Madigan pulls a slug out of a wall fired from Ace Morgan's (Wheeler Oakman) derringer. It matches up with the slug found near the dead body, in a logic defying exercise in ballistics, since the bullet had to go entirely through the dead man's body and then fall to his side. Not only that, but the Marshal had to find it! I'd like to see the Warren Commission explain that one.<br/><br/>At least one interesting custom is explained in the course of the story, though I don't know if there's any basis in fact for it. At the Hernandez ranch, a chalice of gold coins, 'La Copa D'Oro', is on display in one of the rooms. The custom says that the coins are for any guest who finds himself truly in need, and even a thief would not dishonor that generosity. Given the story line and the opportunities made available to tempt fate, the cup made it to the end of the tale untouched. That at least seemed a lot more credible than the exact same 'aces and eights' poker hand showing up at different times in the story, to the point of matching the fifth card in the hand each time.
Tim McCoy was a real Westerner, a great horseman, and a better actor than most people might think, those considering him "just" a B Western star.<br/><br/>This Western is flawed by several Gringos trying, not very successfully, to play Mexicans, but there are many intriguing characters and a complex plot in a story set in Spanish-heritage California and Nevada to more than make up for the flaws.<br/><br/>The major locale is Rawhide, Nevada, a real town, now a ghost town, but it once looked like this: http://www.westernmininghistory.com/towns/nevada/rawhide<br/><br/>Perhaps the biggest flaw is Rex Lease, who gives good performances in other movies, but here he fails with a Mexican accent, and has trouble mounting his horse.<br/><br/>More than compensating for Lease is Earle Hodgins, here called Earl. Often casta fast-talking carnival or medicine-show barker, his role herea marshal is different, perhaps (and reminding in some ways of John Cleese's playing a sheriff in "Silverado"), but he is a capable enough actor to pull it off beautifully.<br/><br/>Possibly the most intriguing note, though, is from the great Karl Hackett, who not only narrates at the beginning of "Aces and Eights," but plays that most famous holder of a poker hand of aces and eights, Wild Bill Hickok. And he doesn't even get screen credit.<br/><br/>Wheeler Oakman plays the slimy Ace Morgan, andusual he makes us believe he really is despicable, in a great performance.<br/><br/>"Aces and Eights" is a flawed movie, with some obviously dubbed-in sound effects and an identical shot of a poker-hand close-up used at least three times.<br/><br/>But it stars Tim McCoy. All I ever need to know is It Stars Tim McCoy.<br/><br/>I'll watch it, and I'll recommend it. It Stars Tim McCoy, and it's available at YouTube.
