The Black Whip is a 1956 American Civil War Western film directed by Charles Marquis Warren and starring Hugh Marlowe and Coleen Gray. [1] [2] [3]
The film brief describes the film as "two brothers rescue four dance-hall girls, and encounter trouble from a villain wielding a wicked whip".
The film depicts the time as April 1867, when post-war derelicts, plunderers, and looters continue their crazed violence out west. The story and screenplay were written by Orville Hampton.
Sets from the "Gunsmoke" TV series were used.
John Murdock ( Paul Richards) is a notorious outlaw who leads the vicious gang known as the Blacklegs. Armed with his signature black whip, he and his men invade a small town, looking to stir up trouble. In between harassing the girls at the saloon and attacking the locals, the Blacklegs are plotting a bigger scheme: kidnapping the governor of Kentucky (Patrick O'Moore) and holding him for ransom. The only man who stands in their way is former Confederate officer Lorn Crowford ( Hugh Marlowe).
