What happens

Colt .45 is a 1950 American Western film directed by Edwin L. Marin and starring Randolph Scott, Ruth Roman and Zachary Scott. Reissued under the title Thundercloud, the film served as the loose basis for the television series Colt .45 starring Wayde Preston, which premiered seven years later. Written by Thomas W. Blackburn, author of the lyrics to The Ballad of Davy Crockett, the film is about a gun salesman and gunfighter who hunts a killer who stole two new Colt .45 repeating pistols, leaving a trail of dead bodies behind him. The revolvers used in the film were actually first-model .44-caliber Colt revolving belt pistols made in 1849 and reaching final form by 1850. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
