Lawrence, Kansas, that unluckiest of towns

Lawrence, Kansas had to go undergo a seizure from both sides in the Civil War. The first time was John Brown who executed quite a few because they were of southern birth and sympathy. The next time was by William Quantrill who was fighting for the south in his own way of course.The bloodthirsty Quantrill has been a hand movie villain, there's not too much you can say good about him. If there is anything true about this film it is strictly unintentional.Leo Gordon plays Quantrill here and while there's more Gordon than the real Quantrill that all right by me because Leo Gordon is one of the best and meanest of villains and always fun to watch.Our protagonist hero is Steve Cochran who is a Confederate army captain traveling as a spy behind Yankee lines. He's got orders for Quantrill from the Confederate command to destroy the Union arsenal at Lawrence, but don't do any of the looting and atrocities for which he is getting a bad rep for. Gordon has his own agenda for Lawrence and it has nothing to do with the issues of the Civil War.Cochran indulges in a little romance with Gale Robbins. Also the very sexy Diane Brewster who is Gordon's woman makes a play for Cochran.All in all and average B western under the Allied Artists banner.

A Civil War gang plans an attack on a Kansas arsenal

This bland and historically suspect western is made in Technicolor and Cinemascope with efficient action sequences in this otherwise bland western which has become a rather obscure film over the years.

Steve Cochrane plays a Confederate agent Alan Westcott organising Quantrill's gang on a raid of a federal arsenal in Kansas. Wescott realises that Quantrill (Leo Gordon in an effective performance) is a despicable and amoral villain interested only in murder and plunder. Westcott warns the town-folk of the impending danger and stand up to Quantrill and still has time to have romance with a local beauty.

Diane Brewster is spunky and easy on the eye. Gordon is the stand out as the rotter, Cochrane is staid and dull. The film is competent but will never be ranked along the better westerns of the period.
