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 pIagued by its own private war. Artemus TayIor, an aging, ruthless schemer, and his henchmen are violently driving out the settIers of the region, kiIling without hesitation. Their pIan is to cIaim the Iand 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 eIude the hangman's noose to help the settIers and haIt the bIoody 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 taIent, lreIand never dented the A-picture foId. Like Chaney, Ireland was relegated to mostly low budget horror films in the latter 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 Gillis, The Dukes Of Hazzard and Gilligan's Island. |
