Plot

The outlaws of the Clanton and Younger gangs are the heroes of this fictionalized biography.

After the Civil War, Union Major Clanton captures survivors of Quantrill's Raiders, and gets them clemency at the cost of shooting a mob member. Convicted of murder by a kangaroo court, Clanton escapes and joins the former raiders in a gang devoted to robbing everything protected by the corrupt detective agency of his enemy Fowler, culminating in a personal showdown.—Rod Crawford <puffinus@u.washington.edu>
