Plot Summary
During the war for Texas independence,
one man leaves the Alamo before the end
(chosen by lot to help others' families)
but is too late to accomplish his mission,
and is branded a coward. Since he cannot now expose a gang of turncoats,
he infiltrates them instead. Can he save a wagon train of refugees from Wade's Guerillas?
Written by Rod Crawford

Anachronisms
The revolvers employed by many of the characters all date from after the American Civil War (1861-1865). The film is set between the Battle of the Alamo (February/March 1836) and the Battle of San Jacinto (April, 1836).
In the sheriff's office in Franklin the picture on the wall is of Rutherford B. Hayes, President from 1877 - 1881. In 1836, when this movie takes place, Hayes was 13 years old.
