The Death Trail

CBS Radio Mystery Theater "The Death Trail" is a Mystery from Monday, March 1, 1976.

Wayne Prescott, president of a small bank in Crystal City, Texas, in the late 1860s, is given $200,000 by Col. Chambers, his former commanding officer, who asks Prescott to invest the money in cattle. Prescott is about to marry Sheriff Benson’s daughter Abby, but neither she, her father, nor the colonel have the slightest inkling that Prescott is a member of the pre–Civil War Gunnysack Gang, who killed people they robbed. Prescott has no intention of investing the money.
