Cheyenne
Director: N/A
Actors: Clint Walker, Clyde Howdy, Chuck Hicks
PlotA tall, lone drifter wanders the American West after the Civil War, driven by a strong sense of justice and a desire to help others. Moving from town to town, he uses his strength, skills, and honesty to resolve disputes, protect the innocent, and battle lawlessness wherever he finds it. The West is raw and unpredictable, with outlaws, corrupt officials, feuding ranchers, and desperate settlers all vying for survival or advantage. Despite facing danger at every turn, the wanderer rarely resorts to violence unless forced, instead relying on his keen judgment and calm demeanor to settle conflicts. His journey exposes him to a variety of frontier challenges—from fending off bandits and rustlers to untangling complex relationships among pioneers, Native Americans, and ambitious landowners.
Along his travels, he forms alliances with local sheriffs, befriends struggling homesteaders, and aids vulnerable travelers. Romantic connections are fleeting, as his restless spirit resists anything that ties him down. Each stop brings new dilemmas that test his integrity: range wars erupt over disputed land, townsfolk wrestle with questions of right and wrong, and fugitives seek refuge in the wild. With each encounter, the wanderer’s reputation grows, earning him respect and enmity in equal measure. But with no permanent home and no quest other than justice itself, he continues moving ever onward into the changing face of the West—unsure where his journey will finally lead.
