THIS FILM IS NOT FOR SALE IN THE US OR CANADA

This is how the series began. When a potential range war heats up between cattlemen and incoming settlers in the Outlet,
Washington sends U.S. Marshal Jim Crown to the Cimarron Territory to quell the dispute. Assigned to Cimarron City, Crown finds
that there is no law in the town, and that he will not receive any help from the Army in order to settle the ever increasing problem
that brews in the distance. Adding to this, Crown is forced to jail his old buddy "Bear", accompanied by sidekick Mobeetie, and his
gang of renegade cowboys, when they go on a free-for-all drunk and terrorize Cimarron. Upon their release from jail, the cowboys
discover that their boss, cattleman Hardy Miller, has lost his government land lease, due to the government favoring the movement
of the incoming farmers and settlers. When Miller is forced to fire Bear and his group, they promise revenge against the settlers
and vow to turn the Cimarron River bloody red. This dramatic struggle climaxes in Crown having to face Bear one-on-one in fight to
the death. A great episode with superior performances turned in by Stuart Whitman and Telly Savalas.
