Calamity Jane and Sam Bass is a 1949 American Technicolor Western film directed by George Sherman starring Yvonne de Carlo, Howard Duff and Dorothy Hart.^[1]

Plot

Sheriff Will Egan doesn't want any gamblers in Denton, Texas and is suspicious when stranger Sam Bass arrives in town. The sheriff's daughter Kathy likes the newcomer, though, while Calamity Jane is impressed with Sam's way with horses, even more so when Sam spots a poorly shod favorite in a horse race and bets against him, winning a tidy sum.

Sam buys the losing horse with his wager winnings and intends to race him. But when a hired guy poisons the horse, Sam shoots him. Sam tries to turn himself in, but feels he can't get a fair trial and busts out. He ends up shot, dying in Jane's arms, yet seemingly in love with Kathy.
