A lesser Audie Murphy Western vehicle starring a bunch of TV actors in this tale of a robbery gone wrong & the retired law man reinstated to catch the culprits who did it. A posse catches up w/the thieves led by Darren McGavin (from The Night Stalker) & makes the trip home to bring them to justice when greed gets into the eyes of the good guys who decide to off the baddies & take the loot for themselves. Of course Murphy will have nothing to do w/it & must eventually team up w/McGavin to throw a wrench into their plans. Posse members include Alan Hale (Skipper from Gilligan's Island) & Edward Platt (Chief from Get Smart) & while the movie is an easily digestible 80 minutes or so, one wonders what a better script/director could've done w/this tired material.
