This film begins in 1875 with the introduction of three lawmen named "Webb Pierce", "Carl Smith" and "Marty Robbins" (each played by popular country-western singers by the same name during the recording of this film) who have been sent to investigate the rustling of cattle intended for a nearby Cheyenne reservation. In the course of their investigation they also discover that a certain rifle known as the Buffalo Gun is being sold to renegade members of another tribe who have either joined the cattle rustlers or have taken to disturbing the peace by other violent means. Unfortunately, what none of the three lawmen realize is that the cattle rustlers have a couple of prominent citizens from a nearby town guiding them in their illegal activities. Now, rather than reveal any more, I will just say that, despite the talents of the three aforementioned country singers, this low-budget Western was lacking in about every aspect that one might imagine. The plot was rather generic, the acting was bad, and the scenes looked like they were spliced together by a complete amateur. Even worse was the manner in which one or all of the three singers would break out in song at the drop of a hat. It would be funny if it wasn't so bad. Be that as it may, although I definitely liked the music of these three musicians back in the day, none of them did themselves any favors with this movie, and I have rated it accordingly. Below average.
This film essentially begins with an elderly man by the name of "Francis" (Cedric Smith) showing an unemployed stockbroker named "Brian" (David Nerman) a secret way to tell the future and make money in the stock market. Not one to really believe in Ouija boards, Brian is quite skeptical at first. However, when he places a bet based upon what the Ouija board tells him, he immediately becomes a believer. The problem, however, is that Francis isn't exactly who he claims to be--and he has plans for both Brian and his young wife "Julie" (Elizabeth Lambert) which neither of them could ever suspect. Now, rather than reveal any more, I will just say that this film was slightly different than its two predecessors in that it features a bit more eroticism in the place of actual horror. Likewise, although it starts off rather well, in my opinion, the ending left something to be desired. Even so, while I don't consider this to be a great horror film by any means, I suppose it passed the time well enough, and I have rated it accordingly. Average.
Wrongly convicted for a crime she did not commit, a single mother by the name of "Annie Gallagher" (Cheryl Ladd) has to rely on her sister "Cathy" (Jean Smart) to take care of her three children while she has to contend with a number of other serious issues during her incarceration. Needless to say, the addition of three young children also creates problems for Cathy as well. Meanwhile, the man responsible for framing Annie escapes justice altogether. Now, rather than reveal any more, I will just say that I initially didn't expect much from this movie due to the fact that the overall scenario of an innocent person being sent to prison has, more or less, been done many times before. Fortunately, this film delves a bit deeper into some of the harsh realities that these people face which was complimented by decent acting on the part of both Cheryl Ladd and Jean Smart. That being said, this turned out to be fairly entertaining drama, and I have rated it accordingly. Slightly above average.
