Just Pals is a 1920 American silent Western film directed by John Ford, and was Ford's first film for Fox Film Corporation.[1] John Ford is credited as 'Jack Ford', as was typical for his earliest films.
The film introduces the theme of the partnership between two vagabonds, a young man and a boy, who support and help each other.[2] Buck Jones and Georgie Stone already anticipates some of the elements that will contribute to the extraordinary success of Charles Chaplin and Jackie Coogan in The Kid (1921). The sheriff in the film, played by Duke R. Lee, keeps saying five times in the film, "The law'll take care o' this!".
