| Summary, etc |
As this 1959 Ace Double Western opens, seventeen-year-old Thorp Barrett is already a member of the outlaw gang led by his brother Travis. When the gang is trapped by a posse led by U.S. Marshal Doug Scott, Thorp winds up as the only survivor, thanks to his brother who gives up his life to help Thorp escape. Thorp goes on the run, flees across the Rio Grande into Mexico, and vows to turn himself into as deadly a gunman as his brother was, so he can kill Marshal Scott and avenge Travis's death.
From that point, Shirreffs follows Thorp's life for the next several years as he falls in with smugglers and bandidos and becomes an accomplished outlaw and gunfighter. Unfortunately, his quest to kill Marshal Scott becomes complicated when he meets and falls in love with the lawman's beautiful stepdaughter. On the run from a murder charge because he shot down another marshal, it looks like there's no way for Thorp to wind up other than dancing at the end of a hangrope or filled with lead by lawmen... |
