Wagon Train (1940)

Directed by Edward Killy

Overview

In his first starring Western for RKO, young Tim Holt must not only carry on his father’s freight business but also hunt down his murderer. A certain Matt Gardner wants to corner the freight business to Pecos and persuades young Zack Sibley’s wagon master to switch sides. Zack also earns the enmity of Gardner’s son Coe, who takes umbrage to the youngster’s flirtation with pretty Helen Lee. It all comes to a head during a food shortage in Pecos, a near-disaster that persuades the wagon master to switch sides once again. When the dust settles, Zack learns that old man Gardner is actually Carl Anderson, the man who murdered his father.
