Jerry Paris Orphaned and left in the desert as an infant, Evil Roy Slade grew up alone - save for his teddy bear - and mean.

Stool, a railroad tycoon, who, along with his dim-witted nephew Clifford is trying to get revenge on Evil Roy Slade for robbing him. Gun For A Coward (1957) - Dir.

Whispering Smith (1948) - Dir. Leslie Fenton Luke Whispering Smith is a by-the-book, no-nonsense railroad detective who learns his friend, Murray Sinclair, has been fired from his railroad job.

Now, Smith must find and bring his old friend to justice... at any cost, in this suspenseful adventure filled with pistol-packing action. The Cimarron Kid (1952) - Dir. Budd Boetticher After being falsely accused of a payroll heist, the Cimarron Kid heads for the high country where he joins the outlaw Dalton gang. When the Daltons are decimated during a daring daylight bank robbery, the Kid takes over what is left of the gang and hides out at a local ranch. Here he is reformed by the love of the rancher's daughter Carrie Roberts but not so reformed that he doesn't embark upon one last robbery. Ride A Crooked Trail (1958) - Dir. Jesse Hibbs Audie Murphy plays Joe Maybe, an outlaw who is mistaken for U.S. Marshall Jim Noonan, when he assumes the man s identity after his death. Pretending to be Noonan, Maybe is appointed sheriff of Webb City, a rough river town. The only reason he goes along with the ruse is so that he can gain easy access to the town and plan a robbery.
