Billy (James Brown) is an ex-bandit who has gone clean. His brother Matt (Robert Karnes) is a thug who just busted out of jail. Matt wants his brother to join his gang, but Billy refuses -- that is, until Matt threatens to pin a crime on him. Billy reluctantly rides with the crooks, but a brotherly brawl breaks out and Matt is killed in the scuffle that he instigated, while his adolescent son, Ted (John Wilder), looks on. Unaware of his dad's dastardly side, Ted sics the law on Billy.

Audience Member A reforming criminal joins his outlaw brother in a robbery scheme - hiding the fact he's working for the law. Black and white Western that was perhaps so unmemorable it was never reviewed by at least 3 books of reviews. Looks mainly like some TV western, bad acting and bad sets. Starring: James Brown (not the soul singer), John Wilder, Walter Coy, Robert Karnes, Joe Haworth, Quent Sondergaard, Boyd Morgan, Jon Locke, Della Sharman Directed By: Edward L Cahn Genre: Western Synopsis: A reforming gunslinger joins his outlaw brother in a robbery scheme - hiding the fact he's working for the law!
