Ride to Hangman's Tree (1967)


Universal Pictures
Directed by Alan Rafkin
My rating: 1.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Encore)

A trio of unlikeable outlaws rob a bank and get caught, but on their way to be hanged escape. Within minutes, they are robbing a stagecoach. They break up the gang only to rob each other. Years later, the "Black Bandit" is terrorizing California during the gold rush, one of the old outlaws. It just so happens the other two show up in the same town. They get jobs with Wells Fargo, only to make plans to rob it. Mostly, they fight each other over pretty saloon singer Melodie Johnson, who is really the only reason to watch this cliche-ridden western.
