Springfield Rifle: Major Lex Kearney, dishonorably discharged from the army for cowardice in battle, has actually volunteered to go undercover to try to prevent raids against shipments of horses desperately needed for the Union war effort. Falling in with the gang of jayhawkers and Confederate soldiers who have been conducting the raids, he gradually gains their trust and is put in a position where he can discover who has been giving them secret information revealing the routes of the horse shipments.
3.5 这算是最早的“无间道”了吧 抓黑警找内鬼 这甲乙丙换一换 用这个idea放在今天能拍一部电视剧。很西部牛仔风 美式spirit那个时候就有体现。以及 Cooper帅的咧~
