Notes:When Jack Burns finds out his friend has been jailed for draft-dodging, he rides into town on his horse and gets himself thrown in jail. He has a plan to escape, but his friend doesn't want to go with him. Jack breaks out and goes on the run. The police track him through the mountains, but Jack narrowly escapes, only to be killed on his horse while crossing a highway when he's hit by a truck.
