ERROL23 Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Close of the Civil War 1865.Reporter Barry Conovan(Robert Stack)and his partner Sam Sawyer(Leo Carrillo)are sent to Texas to cover post war events. On the stagecoach Barry meets Jane Scott(Anne Gwyne)who he falls for.Jane thinks shes in love with Henry Clay Jackson(Broderick Crawford)whos head of a band of Texas Patriots.Jackson is really a bloodthirsty scoundrel out for himself. Head of the local town is Major Lawrence(Ralph Bellamy)a well meaning peacekeeper. Jackson and his men go on a major crime wave robbing banks,holding up stagecoaches,and senseless killings. Most of the people go along with Jackson including Janes brother Robert(Jackie Cooper)who feels Jackson fighting for Texas. Jackson kidnaps Barry and forces him to write about his patriotic deeds he does in the name of Texas. Very underated Western. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
