Rory Calhoun

Pure Country -- George Strait is Dusty Chandler, a bearded country singer who decides he's burned out on being high-profile and heads back home to Texas.

Hired Gun -- Chad, a popular hired gun, learns that his boss is planning to sneak a nuclear bomb into the United States. Although a killer himself, Chad's conscience gets the better of him as he sets off to annihilate everyone involved.

John Clark Gable (son of Clarke Gable), James Brolin, and Richard Roundtree are three soft-hearted bandits who purchase a horse from Billy the Kid. They use the easily recognizable steed to convince their victims that they are members of Billy's gang, allowing them to rob people without firing a single shot. One of the gang members breaks away from the others, taking the horse with him, and pretty soon he's every bit as mean and dangerous as the real Billy.

Calhoun stars as a drifter who finds himself helping a group of backbiting settlers under Indian attack. Most of the ungrateful pilgrims run to their deaths in spite of the cowboy's efforts to save them. Calhoun eventually defeats the Indians and rides off into the sunset with Bates in this story based on a Louis L'Amour novel and co-produced by Calhoun.
