Abilene Town (1946)

Abilene, Kansas, town marshal Dan Mitchell (Scott) has managed to keep a tenuous peace by keeping saloons, gambling, and guns on one side of Main Street, and the stores, women, children, and farmers on the other side. Violence and killings begin when homesteaders arrive in town in droves. Dan convinces the shopkeepers to side with the homesteaders. To save his town, Dan pits the saloon owners and cowboys against each other, resulting in a vicious bloodbath. In the midst of the chaos, Dan must make a decision between the two women he loves.
