"Angel and the Badman" is an early John Wayne film co-starring Gail Russell.
When he arrives wounded on their doorstep, gun-slinger Quirt Evans (John Wayne) doesn’t realize that his life is about to change.
While he is being nursed back to health, he falls in love with the woman who takes care of him, Penelope Worth (Gail Russell). It turns out that Penelope and her family are all Quakers and do not believe in any form of violence, which is completely counter to the life that Quirt Evans has been living.
In order to marry Penelope, Evans realizes that he must also choose her Quaker way of living. But this is a big change from the gun-slinging lifestyle the he has led his entire life. Can he truly follow his heart? Can he leave the life he knows?
