Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Bill Hickok in his early pre-gunslinger years as a freight-line agent protecting a gold shipment from villains out to steal gold and land out west while America is diverted by the Civil War back East. With the help of Calamity Jane and her horse-trader uncle Hickok battles the bad guys while trying to win the love of his life, Louise, in a formulaic B-Western adventure with songs.

Did You Know?
| Trivia | The failure of the original copyright holder to renew the film's copyright resulted in it falling into public domain, meaning that virtually anyone could duplicate and sell a VHS/DVD copy of the film. Therefore, many of the versions of this film available on the market are either severely (and usually badly) edited and/or of extremely poor quality, having been duped from second- or third-generation (or more) copies of the film.

Charlie Majors:
Have you seen Bill Hickok? 'Gabby' Whitaker: No, and what's more you ain't gonna see him nuther. They've absconded, eloped, departed, and left for parts unknown. See more » |
