Plot:	Just prior to the outbreak of the Civil War, Roy and Gabby return from Arizona to Missouri (having been
	away for several years) with some horses to sell.
	There Roy meets his old friend, Dave.
	Roy tries to persuade Dave not to join the outlaw McBride's organization.
	McBride, hearing the conversion, draws his gun on Roy but has it shot out of his hand by another of
	Roy's friends, Gabby (Whittaker).
	McBride and his gang exit town followed first by a small patrol of Union soldiers and, later, by
	Roy and Gabby who are too late to prevent the massacre of the five Union soldiers.
	When the Civil War starts, Dave joins (Captain) McBride's outfit which is attached to the
	Confederate Army, while Roy & Gabby join the regular Confederate Army.
	After the Confederate Army learns of the pillage being done by McBride and his men, McBride's
	outfit is ostracized.
	McBride continues to 'fight under its own flag', looting and killing civilians.
	Roy & Gabby 'liberate' the gold from the bank to prevent the invading Union Army from getting it.
	McBride learns of this and attacks Roy's unit, wounding both (Captain) Roy Rogers & Gabby.
	Dave secretly goes back to assist Roy in getting medical attention.
	Roy receives permission to bring in McBride (on detached duty) and does manage to find and
	wound him and Dave.
	The wounded McBride, along with Dave, seek medical help from a doctor.
	Roy realizes this, enters the doctor's residence and warns Dave that he needs to quit McBride's
	outfit or be hunted down.
	Gabby, Roy and Roy's outfit set a trap by hiding in the wagons of an ammunition train and
	out-gunning McBride and his group when they attack the train trying to obtain much-needed
	ammunition.
	McBride is the only one to escape the trap.
	Roy follows McBride to a saloon and kills him just as McBride is about to shoot Roy in the back.
	No romantic interest for Roy in this one.
