Based on an actual incident, this returns to the early years of the Civil War which split the sympathies of a Kentucky town, sparked the rivalry between Tom Vidal and Jeff Blazer who had grown up there. Blazer, a Unionist, is not above devious to vicious actions, while Vidal joins the guerrilla band of Rebel Rangers, holds up a train with a quarter of a million dollar paychest. The money is still another divisive element among his men, leads to the pursuit which places it in Blazer's hands and ultimate recovery by Vidal.... Angry and active all the way.
