Railroad detective Matt Clark learns of Johnny Ringo while investigating a train robbery. Frankie gets a job allowing her to some undercover work. Matt meets Johnny, a noted gunslinger, trailing him to a desert showdown. Stories of the Century is a TV Western Anthology series 1954-55 of 39 episodes, starring JIM DAVIS as Matt Clark, co-starring female leads MARY CASTLE as Frankie Adams (1954, season 1) (eps 1-26) and KRISTINE MILLER as Margaret "Jonesy" Jones (1955, season 2)(eps 27-39).
Premise: Stories of Matt Clark, Railroad Detective, who traveled the West each week to aid in the capture of one of history's notable badmen (or women). At times, Clark's appearance at the scene seemed somewhat contrived, as in just "happening" to be in town when Ford shoots Jesse James. The stories do have some limited educational value, as each one sticks to the basic facts, although production values for the series were decidedly low budget. The amazing thing was, that Clark would chase Quantrill in 1863, followed by Tom Horn in 1903 -- 30 years apart -- and yet he never aged!
