One of the best Laramie stories is this one directed by veteran big screen western director Lesley Selander which has a cast of only four including Robert Fuller.
One thing Laramie always had going for it was all kinds of people would show up from Jess Harper's past he would have to deal with. In this case Jan Merlin whose brother Fuller killed while tracking him down after a gold shipment robbery. This was after the brother killed all the other gang members and Merlin buried the gold in an abandoned mission.
Then a jailhouse buddy of Merlin's Dennis Patrick shows up wanting to cut himself in. Finally an old desert rat played by Edgar Buchanan proves to be Fuller's salvation, but he's got a larcenous soul.
Obviously Fuller comes out on top, but Selander got some great performances out of this cast in this story of greed and survival.
