U.S. Deputy Marshal Augustus Crane must escort convicted bank robber Judah Welsh to Virginia City. But the townsfolk of Rawhide Flat still want their $30,000 back from Welsheven if it means taking on Marshal Crane
Deputy Marshall Augustus (Gus) Crane goes to pick up a criminal and walks into a can of worms. Also has problems with some insane religious fanatic with over 500 followers. Gus meets a thirteen year old girl, Sarah who the fanatic wants to marry and have kids with. Gus tries to help her out. Interesting enough story, although not at all fast paced by any means.
This is a good one; would make a great movie. Two good guys; one a deputy U.S. marshal and the other the town sheriff, against a crazy man with 2 -3 hundred followers. It all starts with the robbery of $50,000 from the town bank and and thereafter everyone wants the money. It ends a little surprisingly and disappointingly to me ... the money could have been used to rebuild the town of Rawhide Flat.
