- Captain Jim Christie returns to his Texas home after numerous missions over Germany in World War II. Because of a similarity between Jim and his grandfather, Corpus Christi Jim, known as a famous desperado, Jim's father tells him the real story. Corpus Christi Jim was not actually an outlaw but forced into banditry when the government failed to provide for returning, impoverished Confederate soldiers. In a flashback to 1865, Corpus Christi Jim returns to Texas from the Civil War to find his home ruined and his parents dead. After shooting a carpetbagging Commissioner in self-defense, he holds up a stagecoach, changes his name and settles honestly in the town of Pecos Wells where Alonzo Adams is a crusading newspaperman and Wade Larkin is the town's saloon keeper and gambling boss. Alonzo's daughter, Dorothy, suspects Jim but sympathizes with him and helps him to reform Pecos Wells.—Les Adams <longhorn1939@suddenlink.net>
