Robert Lippert and Ron Ormond produced this film which is very well acted and directed by B. Reeves Eason.
The story opens during a stagecoach robbery in which a man named Tom Harvey (James Millican) saves everyone by shooting one of the masked raiders and making the others run off.
One of the men on the stage is The Abilene Kid (Reed Hadley). The Kid is framed by gangsters and is found guilty in court of fraud. He is hanged, but not before he warns the town that he is innocent and they are the guilty ones.
Soon, everyone in the town including the men who set him up are dying and everyone thinks the Kid's ghost has returned, seeking vengeance.
Harvey has been made a deputy and he, along with the Sheriff (Victor Kilian) attempt to solve the murders. The ending is a great twist that I didn't see coming. I won't spoil it here.
The rest of the stellar cast includes Mary Beth Hughes (looking oh so sexy), Henry Hull, Fuzzy Knight, Chris Pin Martin, George Cleveland, Glenn Strange, I. Stanford Jolley, Marjorie Stapp (her film debut) and the always lovely Margia Dean.
If you like "B" westerns this is a MUST see in my opinion. One of the best.
