Abilene Town (1946)
Directed by Edwin L. Marin
Starring Randolph Scott, Ann Dvorak and Lloyd Bridges
In the years following the Civil War, the
town of Abilene, Kansas is poised on the brink of an explosive confrontation. A line has been drawn down the center of the
town where the homesteaders and the cattlemen have come to a very uneasy truce. The delicate peace is inadvertantly shattered
when a group of new homesteaders lay down their stakes on the cattlemen's side of town, upsetting the delicate balance that
had existed thus far and sparking an all-out war between the farmers, who want the land tamed and property lines drawn, and
the cowboys, who want the prairies to be open for their cattle to roam.
