Rebel city
Elliott plays Frank Graham, a gambler who returns home to Kansas when he gets word from an old friend (Bill Walker) that his father has been killed.
It turns out that there's a gang of Southern sympathizers ("Copperheads") in the area running guns, passing counterfeit bills, and generally wreaking havoc, including murdering Frank's father. Frank takes a job as a teamster working for Jane Dudley (Lord) while he untangles the mystery.
Bill Elliott is suitably stoic as the man seeking his father killer. He had been stabbed in the back, and Elliott almost gets the same treatment during his investigation- other two men get killed via a knife. It's fairly neat b-western which is more like a detective drama. There's some tense moments, and it doesn't fail to keep your attention.
