Plot

When the Daltons are killed at Coffeyville, KS, gang member Bill Doolin, arriving late, escapes but kills a man in self defence. Now wanted for murder, he becomes the leader of the Doolin gang. He eventually leaves the gang, marries and tries to start a new life under a new name. But the old gang members appear and his true identity becomes known. So once again he becomes an outlaw trying to escape from the law. Written by Maurice VanAuken

Cast

Reception

In his 2007 review, Dennis Schwartz gave the movie a grade of B, describing it as "a familiar Western formulaic set-up of a good man caught by circumstances and trapped in a life of crime" and stating "The old-fashioned story leaves a lot to be desired, but the cast takes it seriously and makes the unbelievable look as believable as possible."[1]
