Yuma

Yuma is a 1971 American Western television film directed by Ted Post and starring Clint Walker. It was shot in Old Tucson. The film was originally a television pilot that appeared on the ABC Movie of the Week. Plot Dave Harmon (Clint Walker), a former lieutenant in the U.S. Army is sent to Yuma as the new United States Marshal. His wife was raped and son killed and the only description of the criminals responsible was they were wearing army uniforms. He has served in several locations as U.S. Marshal and all were near an army post. Yuma is a city with an army post commanded by Major Lucas (Peter Mark Richman) and an Indian reservation nearby. Harmon rides into Yuma as the newly assigned Marshal and immediately encounters two drunk rabble rousers, the King brothers, who have hijacked a stagecoach outside of town. One is killed in a saloon by Harmon when he draws his gun, and Harmon locks the other in the town jail. The second brother is subsequently murdered, shot in the back, using a gun from the Marshal's office during a nighttime jail break organized by Sanders (Robert Phillips), who is an associate of the freight company owner (Barry Sullivan), in an effort to get the third King brother, cattleman (Morgan Woodward) to kill the Marshal.
