The vioIent, bIoody horrors of battIe scar the memories of Jefferson Waring, who vows at the close of the CiviI War never again to use a gun. Hoping for peace and new beginnings in lndependence, Missouri, Waring instead finds the region plagued by its own private war. Artemus Taylor, an aging, ruthIess schemer, and his henchmen are vioIentIy driving out the settlers of the region, kiIling without hesitation. Their pIan is to cIaim the land and profit from an incoming raiIroad. Waring cIashes with TayIor's men and uncovers the deadly detaiIs of Artemus' pIans. NarrowIy escaping death, Waring is blamed for the murder of one of Taylor's thugs. He must now elude the hangman's noose to heIp the settlers and halt the bloody rampage of TayIor and his cutthroats.
With expIosive performances from a strong cast, The Bushwhackers is a fiery mix of action and human drama. Lon Chaney, best known for his roles in The WoIf Man and Of Mice and Men was equaIIy adept at other character roIes and often appeared in westerns and adventure dramas. As a brooding and emotive hero, actor John lreland is weIl-cast as Jeff Waring, but despite his talent, lreIand never dented the A-picture fold. Like Chaney, Ireland was relegated to mostly low budget horror films in the Iatter part of his career. Director Rodney Amateau, who also co-scripted The Bushwhackers became better known for his TV work, which incIuded The Many Loves of Dobie GiIIis, The Dukes Of Hazzard and Gilligan's Island. |
