Clements Ripley

The career of Revolutionary War naval hero John Paul Jones, from his youth in Scotland through his service to Catherine the Great of Russia.

Also known as California Outpost, Old Los Angeles stars Bill Elliot in one of his expanded-budget Republic "specials." The film is set during the early statehood days of California, with Elliot keeping the peace and warding off plunderers and marauders. As always, Elliot is a "peaceable man"--until he beats the tar out of those who rile him. The problem with Elliot's more expensive Republic vehicles is that action invariably took a back seat to plot, romance, costumes and decor. Within a year of Old Los Angeles, Elliot started a more austere, less prettified and far superior western series.

Em 1877 um homem cavalgava pelo oeste e, da noite para o dia, tornou-se célebre. Não descobriu um continente, nem venceu uma guerra. Não foi um grande general, estadista ou cientista, ainda assim após várias décadas as lendas sobre ele continuam tão vivas quanto em sua época. Seu nome era William Frederick Cody, mas para os jovens e velhos, ricos e pobres, reis e plebeus, era conhecido como Buffalo Bill. Ele começou a construir sua fama quando era batedor, por ter uma pontaria infalível e, ao defender uma diligência que fora atacada por índios bêbados, ter salvo Louisa Frederici , a filha de um senador. Cody não queria matar e ansiava pelo estabelecimento de uma co-existência pacífica entre os brancos e os índios. No entanto esta era uma tarefa difícil, pois um ambicioso empresário, Vandevere, só queria ter cada vez mais lucro, não se importando em tirar os índios das suas terras ou promover a matança indiscriminada de búfalos.

Farmers take up arms against miners whose high water pressure mining operations are destroying their farms with mud and water runoff.

Em 1852, em Nova Orleans, uma jovem egocêntrica da aristocracia local provoca o rompimento do seu noivado ao usar um vestido vermelho, quando as moças deviam usar branco. Apesar de seu antigo noivo se casar com outra mulher, ela continua amando-o. Ela tem a grande chance de lhe provar que realmente deixou de ser uma jovem mimada quando uma peste se abate sobre a cidade. (e 10 - Estimado 10 Anos)

Comedy about a weak husband, afraid to say "no" to his new wife, who realizes he must assert himself to save his marriage.

Colonel Ferris, a wealthy farmer in northern California, is strongly opposed to hydraulic mining, a new method developed during the gold rush of the 1870's, which is flooding the area's prosperous farmlands. Despite Ferris' political stance, Jared Whitney, a mining engineer from the East, becomes friends with the colonel's son Lance and falls in love with his daughter Serena. Family tensions deepen when the colonel's brother Ralph gives up farming to go to San Francisco to work for his wife Rosanna's father, Harrison McCooey, a leader in the mining venture. When Lance follows Ralph, the colonel, focusing his anger on Jared, forbids him to see Serena.
