BFI introduction:
In the pre-Civil War West, Gossett and Garner’s buddies and professional
conmen Jason O’Rourke and Quincy Drew beat racist slave owners at their
own game. Traveling through small towns, they swindle auction buyers
out of their ill-gotten gains and abscond with their money. But what
will these gamblers do when their luck runs out? Paul Bogart and Gordon Douglas’
comedy balances action and quick-fire dialogue, and features its two
stars at their very best.
Here (and above) is thew trailer.
