A group of unlikely travelling companions find themselves on the same stagecoach to Cheyenne. They include a drunken doctor, a bar girl who's been thrown out of town, a professional gambler, a travelling liquor salesman, a banker who has decided to embezzle money, a gun-slinger out for revenge and a young woman going to join her army captain husband. All have secrets but when they are set upon by an Indian war party and then a family of outlaws, they find they must all work together if they are to stay alive.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was part of a 1960s trend of color remakes of classic westerns for TV, alongside 'Cimarron' and 'The Lone Ranger'—most are forgotten for good reason.
Norman Rockwell painted the promotional poster, which is honestly the most interesting thing about this production.
