About The Fighting Coward

Tom Rumford is sent north and raised by Quaker relatives. He comes back south unwilling to fight. The men around him still answer an insult with a duel. Ernest Torrence, Mary Astor, Noah Beery Sr., Phyllis Haver, and Cullen Landis play the people who have to live with that mismatch.
