Dark Command

A drama of undying love.

In Lawrence, Kansas, just before the Civil War, newcomer Bob Seton takes a liking to Mary McCloud, the local banker's daughter, amid growing tension over whether the territory will remain slave-free. Seton runs for marshal against schoolteacher William Cantrell, a seemingly upstanding citizen whose ruthless ambition drives him to form a gang of raiders after his defeat. Dressed eventually in Confederate uniforms, Cantrell's men terrorize settlers, leaving Seton and Lawrence's citizens to confront them in a final clash.
