Ghost Town is a B western released in 1956 starring
Kent Taylor (Conroy) John Smith (Duff) Marian Carr (Barbara) William Phillips (Crusty) and Serena Sande (Maureen).
It follows a group of western stagecoach travelers trying to get to the next stage depot but having the misfortune of coming across first a depot, then a town left deserted after a Native American (Indian) raid.
Duff and Crusty have mined some gold and meet
Barbara (Duff's fiance) on the west bound stage.
Conroy, a doctor (John Doucette) and a Rev. (Gilman Rankin) are also stage passengers after being joined by an army sgt. ( Joel Ashley) and his son (Gary Murray) it's decided to avoid the attacking natives and head to another army post. They instead get chased into an abandoned town, hence the title.
Heading off several attacks, with no food, little water and dwindling ammo, character flaws are laid bare as tensions mount. Not helping matters is when Duff finds a native american maiden Serena Sande and an aging chief hiding in a barn.
There are a few plot twists as the attacking Natives are willing to make a trade to spare them and a few trapped characters real motives come to light.
Not a classic, but it will hold your interest for it's 77 minute running time.
