Bad Bascomb
In
the 1860s, governors of the Rocky Mountains are joined by federal
agents in their quest to find outlaw Zeb Bascomb. They know little
about the elusive Zeb, except that he has a rope burn scar on the
back of his neck.
Zeb and Bart split from the gang and take refuge with Elijah Walker's
Mormon caravan. One day, the caravan picks up Jimmy Holden, one of
Zeb's gang, who has been shot and left for dead. Jimmy is nursed back
to health by Dr. Luther Mason and his nurse Dora, who falls in love
with the young outlaw. Emmy, the little girl falls into the water
and is rescued by Zeb, who has developed a fatherly love for the girl.
In his dying words, Elijah appoints Zeb as the new leader of the Mormon
group. Zeb returns to the camp with U.S. Cavalry reinforcements just
in time to save the Mormons from an Indian massacre. Zeb kills Bart,
but during their struggle, Fulton discovers Zeb's rope burn and arrests
him. After bidding Emmy and the others farewell, Zeb leaves the caravan
to serve his time in prison.
