Westbound (1959)

In the heart of 1864, amid the dust and turmoil of the Civil War, Cavalry Captain John Hayes takes on a reluctant role far from the battlefield. Transplanted to the rugged landscapes of Colorado, Hayes becomes the civilian guardian of the Overland Stage Line, a vital lifeline ensuring a steady stream of Western gold reaches the Union, a golden tide that could tip the scales of war in their favor. Yet, his task is far from simple. The stage line's headquarters nestle within a small town, a seemingly quiet locale seething with Southern sympathizers. These undercover rebels are fueled by a burning determination to undermine Hayes' mission, ready to sabotage his actions at every turn. In this tumultuous setting, Hayes grapples not only with the challenge of his mission but also faces a personal betrayal. Resistance to his endeavors is spearheaded by Clay Putnam, an old friend turned adversary who, in Hayes' absence, has claimed the heart of his former sweetheart. As Hayes strives to navigate his path through this whirlpool of professional duty and personal conflict, the stage is set for a fascinating tale of loyalty, love, and the lengths one will go to secure victory.
