Laramie - "Ride the Wild Wind"

Outlaws rob the bank, but one of them is killed by the sheriff in the chase. He was riding a palomino horse, which had been stolen from the Fuller's and Smith's ranch months before. The horse is spirited, and young Robert Crawford, Smith's younger brother, is the only one who can handle him. But Smith determines to sell him. So Crawford runs off with the horse one night, takes a fall, and is found by the outlaws. Ernest Borgnine is the leader of the gang, and wants to keep the kid alive with them, against the objections of the other two. The gang goes to see a widow who is Borgnine's sweetheart. One of the outlaws tries to kill Borgnine and Crawford by crushing them under the wagon, but they jump out in time. One of the outlaws shoots Crawford, but Borgnine has doped his cartridges beforehand, and Borgnine digs a false grave and lets Crawford escape. Smith finds him, and they rush to Casper in time to spoil the outlaws' attempt to rob the bank there.
