The last days of Jesse James, a topic familiar from films rather than Broadway. John Forsythe plays the lead role, living under the name of William Howard, trying to go straight but with much enthusiasm - he keeps being tempted to rob trains. We meet his brother Frank and the Ford brothers as well as his wife Zee. It's treated seriously. 'The Ballad of Jesse James' is sung. This was based on a play written by David Belasco's secretary.
