FLAME OF THE BARBARY COAST ASSOCIATE PRODUCER-DIRECTOR JOSEPH KANE REPUBLIC PICTURES Photo with the courtesy of lasbugas INFORMATION FROM IMDb Plot Summary Duke falls for Flaxen in the Barbary Coast in turn-of-the-century San Francisco. He loses money to crooked gambler Tito, goes home and PL: learns to gamble, and returns. After he makes a fortune he opens his own place with Flaxen as the entertainer. The 1906 quake destroys his place. Summary written by Ed Stephan Montana cowboy Duke Fergus travels to 1906 San Francisco to collect a debt from Tito Morell who runs a place on the dodgy Barbary Coast. Though he heads home after losing the money to Morell's card-sharping, Duke takes a crash course on card play and returns with all his savings ready to take on Morell and start up his own place. A lot of this is due to Morell's woman Flaxen whom Duke has fallen for. The earth may soon be moving for him in quite dramatic ways. Summary written by Jeremy Perkins Full Cast John Wayne ....
