Gordon Lightfoot, Union Suit Fan?  Part II

On the train ride to prison, Harry Tracy was permitted to go to the can where he rubbed soap on his hands to enable him to slip from the handcuffs he was wearing. 

When he was "encouraged" to finish his business and return to his seat, 

 

Tracy reentered the passenger area of the train car, overwhelmed the deputy, grabbed his rifle 

and held the marshall and three other guardsman hostage!

Tracy pulled an emergency cord making the train abruptly screech to a stop. The lawmen were soon made to drop their guns and peel out of their coats and clothes. They were then encouraged to descend the stairs of the train car into the bitter cold, clad only in their long underwear and boots, the marshall in his union suit. Brrr! 

With Tracy's gun trained on them, the lawmen had no choice but to begin the long, embarrassing walk back to town in their long johns. 

 

Tracy, in the meantime, led the marshall's horse down off the train. 

Having climbed up and into the saddle... 

he road in the same direction, soon galloping past the shivering men, slowly making their way back the way they had come.

Hundreds of lawmen of every sort chased Tracy hoping to finally apprehend the now famous thieving bank robber. 

Enjoy this good, old time movie to see if the union suited Gordon Lightfoot gets his gun and clothes back and if Bruce Dern is finally brought to justice. 

Harry Tracy was reshown in theaters, on television and now streaming having been twice retitled:
