Full Plot Details

When transplanted Texan Bob Seton arrives in Lawrence, Kansas he finds much to like about the place, especially Mary McCloud, daughter of the local banker. Politics is in the air however. It's just prior to the civil war and there is already a sharp division in the Territory as to whether it will remain slave-free. When he gets the opportunity to run for marshal, Seton finds himself running against the respected local schoolteacher, William Cantrell. Not is what it seems however. While acting as the upstanding citizen in public, Cantrell is dangerously ambitious and is prepared to do anything to make his mark, and his fortune, on the Territory. When he loses the race for marshal, he forms a group of raiders who run guns into the territory and rob and terrorize settlers throughout the territory. Eventually donning Confederate uniforms, it is left to Seton and the good citizens of Lawrence to face Cantrell and his raiders in one final clash.

Movie Reviews

EmanuelLevy.Com - 8/10 by Emanuel LevyNominated for the Interior Decoration and Score Oscars, this John Wayne pre-Civil War adventure is better than the norm due to Raoul Walsh's direction and good cast.
Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 8/10 by Dennis SchwartzRepublic's costliest film; it was also its biggest box office hit.
Classic Film and Television - 8/10 by Michael E. GrostUnusual Western, with eerie, sinister atmosphere, lots of political commentary, and strange relationships.
User Review - 10/10 by James CExcellent cast and storyline. Roy Rogers is tops in here. Wayne's earlier movies were generally pretty weak but this one is defenitely an exception.
User Review - 10/10 by Mike LOutstanding movie John Wayne is my family favorite actor
User Review - 10/10 by Zeb LJohn Wayne's best early Picture. Roy does an excellent job in this his only A picture!
User Review - 8/10 by Grant STuesday, May 18, 2010 (1940) The Dark Command WESTERN One of few well- made John Wayne Westerns regarding the Civil War with some misunderstnadings. With Claire Trevor taking first billing in the credits but seems more of a John Wayne film like any other!! 3 out of 4
User Review - 8/10 by Bubba MVery good John Wayne Western film...lots of action, and a great ending.
User Review - 8/10 by Shannon BI really like this movie. I t was kind of corny but I like it.
User Review - 6/10 by Kevin M. WJOHN WAYNE. ROY ROGERS! GABBY HAYES! WALTER PIDGEON. Interesting fictional story loosely based on Quantrill's Raiders in Lawrence, Bleeding Kansas. But the movie character name is Cantrell. I have never forgotten seeing a part of this movie when i was a young kid. Recognize it when i watched the entire movie for first time on ThisTV 5-2017.
