The Virginian
"With every hoofbeat, history is made."
Details
A deputized Virginian arrives in the very misnamed Honesty, Wyoming looking for Major Ralph Forrester (Richard Carlson) who had defrauded Judge Garth. However, the local judge is in the Major's pocket and, using the excuse that the Virginian is not a full-time deputy, refuses to let the man be taken back to Medicine Bow. While waiting for Deputy Ryker to arrive, the Major is murdered and the Virginian is accused of the crime. Ryker arrives and with help of a local lawyer, John Harrison (Harold Gould),tries to sort out who the murderer is from amongst a number of suspects including the murdered man's wife (Dorothy Green),a former acquaintance of the Virginian who runs the local saloon and was being blackmailed by the dead man (Kathleen Crowley),and the Major's business partner(Douglas Henderson).
