Coroner Creek is a 1948 American Western film directed by Ray Enright and starring Randolph Scott and Marguerite Chapman. It was based on the novel of the same name by Luke Short.

Plot

After his fiancée is abducted from a stagecoach and ends up dead, Chris Danning rides into the town of Coroner Creek seeking the man responsible.

Hotel owner Kate Hardison asks him to escort home Abbie, the inebriated wife of rich rancher Younger Miles, but his motives are mistaken and Chris is beaten by Younger's men. A widow, Della, tells him that Younger is trying to drive her off her land, and Chris begins to believe Younger could be the man he's after.

Younger and his men kill a friend of Chris's and the sheriff as well, also setting a fire that leads to Della losing all her cattle. A showdown ensues and Chris defeats Younger and returns to town and to a possible romance with Kate.
