The Long Trail

Schlitz Playhouse of Stars – Season 4

Texas Ranger Walden accepts the hospitality of an Oregon sheriff and his daughter while on the trail of a man wanted for murder. He learns his quarry, Sam Gates, is nearby and the sheriff agrees to help him fulfill the order of the law. Several locals ask the ranger to reconsider arresting Gates because he was only acting in self defense. Plus, he's now a family man, married to the sheriff's daughter.
