Rache für Jesse James (1940)
Gerechtigkeit für seinen feige ermordeten Bruder Jesse – das ist alles, was sich Frank, der letzte der James-Brüder, vom Gerichtsverfahren gegen Robert und Charlie Ford erhofft. Als diese aber vom Gericht freigesprochen werden, läßt er seine Farm zurück, überfällt mit seinem jugendlichen Gefährten Clem das Lohnbüro der Eisenbahngesellschaft und nimmt die Verfolgung der Fords in Richtung Westen auf. Tatsächlich erwischt Frank einen von ihnen, doch in Denver berichtet ihm die Zeitungsreporterin Stone, sein alter Hausdiener Pinky solle daheim wegen Komplizenschaft beim Überfall gehängt werden. Nun muß Frank sich entscheiden: Soll er Bob Ford weiter verfolgen und seine Rache vollenden, oder sich stellen und damit den Tod eines Unschuldigen verhindern?
