The Pistol

Description

An action-packed western about the first Colt six-shooter, the California gold fields, and a double-crossing dance hall queen. This is the only time Gerald Mohr was the opening voice at the beginning of the program, and he mis-spoke the opening.

Storm wants revenge for the murder and plans to get the claim back, so he outsmarts Mallory, stays alive through attacks, and gains the help of Theresa Blake, a singer who works for the saloon owner.
