The violent, bloody horrors of battle scar the memories of Jefferson Waring, who vows at the cIose of the Civil War never again to use a gun. Hoping for peace and new beginnings in Independence, Missouri, Waring instead finds the region plagued by its own private war. Artemus TayIor, an aging, ruthless schemer, and his henchmen are violently driving out the settIers of the region, kilIing without hesitation. Their pIan is to claim the Iand and profit from an incoming railroad. Waring cIashes with TayIor's men and uncovers the deadly details of Artemus' plans. Narrowly escaping death, Waring is blamed for the murder of one of TayIor'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 roIes in The Wolf Man and Of Mice and Men was equally adept at other character roIes and often appeared in westerns and adventure dramas. As a brooding and emotive hero, actor John lreland is welI-cast as Jeff Waring, but despite his talent, Ireland never dented the A-picture fold. Like Chaney, lreIand was reIegated to mostIy low budget horror fiIms in the Iatter part of his career. Director Rodney Amateau, who aIso 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. |
