Rod Cameron -- who became a marquee draw with a pair of espionage serials in the 1940s and went on to establish himself as a popular cowboy star -- makes Steve a hero to reckon with in Short Grass, one of the actor’s 10 films with busy shoot-‘em-up director Lesley Selander.

Adding to the Western pedigree is costar Cathy Downs, who plays the title role in the iconic My Darling Clementine.
