The eponymous Rose is played by Mala Powers, a white girl raised by Cherokee Indians after her family was massacred. Powers considers herself a Native American and regards all whites as her enemies. Her feelings are justified to an extent when outlaws kill her Indian parents. Realizing she can't seek vengeance alone, Powers grudgingly accepts the help of white marshal Jack Beutel. Beyond its "Natural Color" photography, Rose of Cimarron is of interest in that it shows how Jack Beutel kept busy after he costarred with Jane Russell in the legendary "bosom western" The Outlaw.
