Posse from Hell


Posse from Hell is a 1961 Audie Murphy Western written by Clair Huffaker based on his 1958 novel of the same name. Herbert Coleman made his directoral debut.

Prior to these events, Marshal Webb had sent for a friend and former gunfighter Banner Cole Audie Murphy to take his place in leading a posse to rescue Helen and bring the men to justice. Though not a criminal, Cole is a loner that Webb wishes to enter the community through his being deputised. Cole is enraged to discover that the townspeople have put Webb on a table next to the three dead bodies of those murdered by the four. The doctor Forrest Lewis said at first they thought Webb was dead himself, then realised he couldnt be moved so left him among the corpses.Webbs last act is to deputise Cole telling him to do the right thing, not out of hate, but out of liking people as the townsfolk are good people who have had bad things done to them. Cole agrees only out of liking Webb. The laconic Cole makes his original plan for hunting down the four by himself clear by turning down the offer of Webbs handcuffs by saying I wont be needing any. However, town elder Benson convinces Cole to follow Webbs wishes and organize a posse. ........
