A rip roaring country and western rendition of the Jesse James saga that even had New York critics stomping their feet to the music. Jesse is seen as a frustrated Southerner at the end of the Civil War, hamstrung by Northern limits imposed on the losers' personal freedom, who turns to bank and train robbery with his family gang in retaliation against the "Yankees".
