A cardsharp comes to the aid of a Mexican family.
Tim Madigan (Tim McCoy), gentleman gambler who never carries a gun, exposes a card sharp cheating Jose Hernandez (Red Lease.) Later, the gambler is shot after being knocked unconscious by Tim. Through circumstances, Jose thinks he did the killing, while Marshal Tom Barstow (Earle Hodgins) thinks Tim is the guilty party.Tim takes refuge at the ranch of Don Hernandez (Joseph Girard) and his daughter Juanita (Luana Walters), not knowing the youth he befriended is the runaway son of the family. Saloon owner Amos Harden (J. Frank Glendon) and gambler Ace Morgan (Wheeler Oakman), who sat in on the card game preceding the murder, are plotting to acquire the Hernandez ranch by means of a forged document. Harassed by the Marshal, who is seeking to unravel the murder mystery, Tim persuades Jose to return home. Tim then wins enough in a poker game with Harden and Morgan to save the Hernandez ranch. He stakes his winnings against Harden's saloon and wins with aces-and-eights, known throughout the West as the hand held by Wild Bill Hickok when he was killed by Jack McCall.
Aces And Eights with its rather unnecessary prologue of why the poker hand of Aces and Eights is called the dead man&#39;s hand is a somewhat overplotted western starring Tim McCoy. It was made for a fly by night outfit called Puritan Pictures that had as its logo a picture of the guy that looked like the guy on the Quaker Oats cereal box.<br/><br/>Everybody who knows any western lore knows that Wild Bill Hickok was holding that hand when he was shot in the back. But Tim McCoy plays a somewhat different western hero, he carries no gun and he&#39;s on a mission to expose card cheats.<br/><br/>He exposes a couple of them and in the process gets accused of murdering one of them. He&#39;s got Marshal Earl Hodgins on his trail and Hodgins for once is not a comic foil. <br/><br/>A rare western indeed having a hero who carries no gun for its time. Still a little too much plot in this B picture horse opera for the Saturday matinée crowd.

U.S. release: 6 June 1936. 62 minutes. <br/><br/>SYNOPSIS: Gambler McCoy reforms when he meets up with square-shooting Marshal Hodgins and a courteous senorita, Luana Walters.<br/><br/>COMMENT: As is often the case in &quot;B&quot; westerns, all the action is saved for the climax. Despite this lack of action, however, the card-sharping plot promised by the title does maintain the interest, although sometimes it&#39;s a little difficult to follow. <br/><br/>A half-hearted murder mystery doesn&#39;t help, nor does the similarity between the two villains, Wheeler Oakman and John Merton. Fortunately, Tim McCoy is his usual charismatic self and is given great support here from the likes of Earl Hodgins and Jimmy Aubrey.
