Guard Larry Delong (Scott) normally rides shotgun on the stagecoach to Deepwater, but when he's tricked into leaving his post, outlaws rob the stage. Held as a prisoner, Delong discovers that Pinto (Bronson) and his gang robbed the stage as a distraction to lure the law out of Deepwater so they can rob the casino. Delong frees himself and rides to warn the town, but he's mistaken for one of the outlaws.

The Return of Doctor X
(1939)In a bizarre but fascinating bit of casting, Humphrey Bogart stars as a vampire in his only horror film role. After a murderous doctor is executed, he is revived with human blood--and soon people with that blood type begin to disappear. When an eager reporter stumbles across a popular actress who was thought to be dead, he can't help noticing that her skin is unnaturally pale and that she keeps her face concealed beneath a long black veil. Suspecting that evil is afoot, he investigates the terrifying world of a psychotic doctor (Bogart) and is drawn into a series of unsolved murders.
Flight Angels
(1940)Cleared for takeoff: Flight Angels, an aviation programmer steeped in man-woman attitudes of its time. The story is centered on commercial pilots eager to fly higher (during off-hours they're designing a high-altitude plane) and up-in-the-air attendants eager to land a man (exchanges between the femmes in the Stewardess Lounge are exceptionally catty). Virginia Bruce and Jane Wyman portray two of the title's Angels. Dennis Morgan plays the pilot whose eye problems result in him being grounded by his superintendent (Ralph Bellamy) and sent to the classroom to instruct future flight attendants. He refuses to stay grounded, test-piloting his experimental stratospheric aircraft without authorization. Wayne Morris, inspired by his role in the film, became a real-life pilot and went on to become a decorated WWII flight hero.
