Leslie Nielsen stars as Police Squad's own granite-jawed, rock-brained cop Frank Drebin, who bumbles across a mind-control scheme to assassinate Queen Elizabeth. Priscilla Presley, O.J. Simpson, a stuffed beaver, two baseball teams and an odd assortment of others join the wacko goings-on and blow the laugh-o-meter to smithereens.

Acclaimed director George Stevens' legendary rendition of the quintessential Western myth earned six Academy Award nominations, and made Shane one of the classics of the American cinema. The story brings Alan Ladd, a drifter and retired gunfighter, to the assistance of a homestead family terrorized by a wealthy cattleman and his hired gun (Jack Palance). In fighting the last decisive battle, Shane sees the end of his own way of life. Mysterious, moody and atmospheric, the film is enhanced by the intense performances of its splendid cast.

Amid stunning vistas, this Oscar-winning Western from director George Stevens follows a reformed gunslinger whose determination to avoid a fight is tested when greedy cattle barons threaten the community of homesteaders he's joined.

Cavalry officer Raymond D'Arcy (Clayton Moore) escapes from prison after being convicted of pinching a $25,000 payroll. D'Arcy insists that he's innocent, but the one person who might help exonerate him -- his former superior -- is missing.

While working as a teller at a Texas bank, medical student Monte Hale (played by singing cowboy Monte Hale) is the sole witness to a violent holdup that ends in the senseless murder of the bank's president. And to make matters worse, he knows that his sweetheart's (Lorna Gray) brother (John Alvin) was in on it. Can Monte shield his bride-to-be's family from the shame of the crime by shouldering the blame himself?

Shane rides into a conflict between cattleman Ryker and a bunch of settlers, like the Starretts, whose land Ryker wants. When Shane beats up Ryker's man Chris, Ryker tries to buy him. Then Shane and Joe take on the whole Ryker crew. Ryker sends to Cheyenne for truly evil gunslinger Wilson. We wonder about Shane's relation to Joe's wife Marian. Shane must clear out all the guns from the valley before he can ride off with Joey hollering 'Shane ... Shane ... Come Back!'
