During the Oklahoma Land Rush, the lawlessness is exacerbated by the McCord gang's feud with the Kincaids, who are trying to bring law and justice to the region.
McCord's gang robs the stage carrying money to pay Indians for their land, and the notorious outlaw "The Oklahoma Kid" Jim Kincaid takes the money from McCord. McCord stakes a "sooner" claim on land which is to be used for a new town; in exchange for giving it up he gets control of gambling and saloons. When Kincaid's father runs for mayor, McCord incites a mob to lynch the old man whom McCord has already framed for murder..
At start, Hollywood told Cagney that gangster films did not need two novel hippie tough-guys * * that Bogart was more than enough to satisfy the hungry moviegoers. Well Cagney smartly insisted that he indeed was no mere Bogey &#39;copy-cat&#39;. He had brought his own characterization, his own flair of cynicism and dark eyes to the silver screen… including torque. And rightly so. Cagney indeed became his own tough guy. Where Bogey shaves tough, athletic, hard-boiled deadpan cynicism, Cagney duly presents cleverness, wit, and boyish charm. Together they curiously pair for this classic Western drama, and Cagney&#39;s first major screen role. And indeed Cagney shines here as Jim Kincaid (The Oklahoma Kid).<br/><br/>To some degree Cagney nearly upstages Bogey here, with his clever, cocksure, fast-talking wit, to Bogart&#39;s serious, deadpan bantam. But Bogey does hold his own, nicely. However it is very clear that they are very different tough guy personalities. Some critics knitted that Bogey is almost a bore here, almost upstaged by Cagney. However, he indeed brought his own malice as Whip McCord. <br/><br/>The remaining supportive cast are duly delightful. The ever- gorgeous Rosemary Lane (of the famous singing Lane sisters) as Jane Hardwick, the kindly, non-judgmental pioneer-girl who incidentally falls in love with Jim&#39;s rebellious, yet kind-bigheartedness… &quot;the wrong man, for all the right reasons&quot;, and Donald Crisp (Judge Hardwick) who realizes that his kindly daughter rightfully loves the kind-hearted outlaw.
&#39;The Oklahoma Kid&#39; is competent but slightly disappointing star western memorable for the clash in this guise of its protagonists, more usually seen as gangsters… <br/><br/>The film is generally far more to the living of the Western traditionalists, and it never once allows its size to create an atmosphere of self-importance… Nevertheless it maintains a pleasant tongue-in-cheek approach which makes the occasional tragic moments stand out in even greater relief… <br/><br/>But even with two such big names on hand, &#39;The Oklahoma Kid&#39; moves tediously against the colorful backgrounds of a colorful era… Cagney—who makes his own law with his fast draw— brings his cheeky personality to the West without making the slightest change in his standard characterization… Bogart plays it without even the mordant sense of humor that he usually brings to his gangster roles… As a sinister figure all in black, he gives an equally unconvincing performance as an outlaw gang leader who deceitfully obtains saloon and gambling rights in return for letting Cagney&#39;s father and brother have rights to a site on which they plan to build a town…
