Guns of Diablo is a Metrocolor 1964 Western directed by Boris Sagal and Boris Ingster, starring Charles Bronson, Susan Oliver and Kurt Russell. Charles Bronson is a wagon scout (Linc Murdock), who runs into difficulties when he meets old girlfriend Maria (Susan Oliver), now married to corrupt law officer Rance Macklin (Jan Merlin).[2] A 14-year-old boy is played by Kurt Russell.
This is an expanded version of the last episode of MGM-TV's brief series The Travels of Jaimie McPheeters ("The Day of the Reckoning"), originally telecast in black and white over ABC on March 15, 1964. Russ Conway refilmed Dan O'Herlihy's original scenes as Kurt Russell's father for this adaptation.
Plot
As teenage boy, Jamie (Kurt Russell), travels west on a wagon train. When the convoy needs supplies, they stop in a small town, where the experienced, armed wagon scout Linc Murdock (Charles Bronson) runs into his ex-girlfriend Maria (Susan Oliver). Murdock finds out that she has married corrupt law officer, Rance Macklin (Jan Merlin). The two men have a history, as Murdock once broke Macklin's arm. Macklin seeks revenge on his rival by arranging for the wagon scout to be arrested. However, this inspires Maria to get Murdock out of jail. Murdock and the orphan teen flee to hunt for a lost gold mine.
