THE DUEL AT SILVER CREEK (1952)
A gang of outlaws is murdering miners and taking over their claims, but they
cross the wrong man when they target the father of Luke Cromwell (Audie Murphy),
a gunslinger known as “the Silver Kid.” The local marshal, “Lightning”
Tyrone (Stephen McNally), is also tracking the gang, but receives a crippling
injury during a gunfight. Tyrone deputizes Cromwell, and the two take on the
murderers together, while trying to resist the charms of Opal (Faith Domergue),
the new beauty in town.
GUNSMOKE (1953)
Hired gun Reb Kittridge (Audie Murphy) goes to work in Montana for Matt Telford
(Donald Randolph), who is looking to take over Dan Saxon's (Paul Kelly) fertile
cattle land. What Reb doesn't bargain for is becoming a landowner himself after
winning Saxon's property in a card game. Suddenly, he must work with Saxon and
daughter Rita (Susan Cabot) to run the cattle to a rail line in order to make a
mortgage payment. To stop him, Telford hires Reb's former partner, Johnny Lake
(Charles Drake).
COLUMN SOUTH (1953)
A young cavalry lieutenant's friendship with the local Navajo chief comes
under strain with the arrival of an aggressive new commanding officer and a
group of warmongering Confederate sympathisers.
DRUMS ACROSS THE RIVER (1954)
All the gold in a small Colorado town has been panned, save for a bit that sits
on land belonging to the Ute people. Greedy Frank Walker (Lyle Bettger) rounds
up the locals and makes plans to raid the Ute territory, but even-tempered
settler Sam Brannon (Walter Brennan) tries to dissuade Walker from launching the
attack. The battle nears, and Sam's conflicted son, Gary (Audie Murphy), is
torn between his belief in his father's morality and his hatred of the Utes,
who killed his mother.
BULLET FOR A BADMAN (1964)
A lawman (Audie Murphy) leads a posse in search of a bank robber (Darren
McGavin), an old friend whose ex-wife he married.
