Allan Lane

After horse trader Clay Santell is mistaken for an outlaw named Travers, he's apprehended by Marshal Deckett, who intends to turn Clay in, even though he knows his real identity. With the help of an intrepid woman, Clay tries to prove his innocence.

When he catches wind that bookish George Parradine (John Eldredge) is actually a ruthless outlaw who's had one man killed and is now trying to steal a fortune from another, U.S. Marshal Rocky Lane (Allan Lane) poses as a bandit and infiltrates Parradine's gang. But Rocky's quest for justice is jeopardized when the dead man's son (George Nader) also goes undercover to get revenge on his father's killer. Fred C. Brannon directs this 1950 Western.

In a terrible stagecoach collision, young Dickie Ray (Hyatt) breaks his back and loses his father. Red Ryder (Lane), his aunt Duchess, and Little Beaver (Blake) take the orphan in. The boy needs an operation with consent from his aunt May. It seems the 'accident' was staged to kill Felton, who had blocked stage owner Big Bill's efforts to control all communication lines between Elkhorn and Denver. Aunt May and the new land commissioner are due to arrive on the same stage coach, but Big Bill has them kidnapped and replaced with his own people, Wally and Beautiful (Stewart). Dickey Ray survives the operation and Big Bill's plans are exposed, but Beautiful, who felt guilty over the deception, takes a bullet from Big Bill meant for Little Beaver.
