Plot Overview

Dedicated Texas Ranger Hoby Gilman tracks the Marple brothers, a gang of murderous robbers, to the small town of Stockton, Texas, where the brothers have taken a church full of women and children hostage. The brothers demand that Gilman arrange for medical care for the one he critically wounded, as well as fast horses for a clean getaway. Hoby, along with the town's Marshal, must quell the crowd of menfolk, who are extremely anxious that action be taken fast, especially one man, whose wife is pregnant.

Notes

The pilot for Trackdown was an episode of Dick Powell's Zane Grey Theatre entitled "Badge of Honor".
