Wolves of the Rail
Smoky Gap Railroad president Murray Lemantier is fed up with a bandit gang led by Buck Andrade constantly holding up his train and getting away with it. He hires ace detective David Cassidy to track down and get Buck, dead or alive. However, when Buck goes to see his dying mother she makes him promise to reform, and he does. Cassidy, though, doesn't care about that and tries to arrest him. Buck decides to do something that will once and for all show everyone that he has indeed reformed--especially Faith Lawson, a pretty station agent he's in love with.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs a classic Western dilemma between the letter of the law and personal redemption, relying on the tension between a relentless detective and an outlaw's vow. It explores the possibility of transformation, asking whether a man's promise can outweigh his past.
Those who tire of simplistic morality tales will find depth in this chase. What lingers after the final showdown is a quiet reflection on honor forged in fire, not in a sheriff's badge. — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: William S. Hart
