Ted Post directed movies such as Magnum Force. He was more known for his television work, especially westerns.
Yuma is a television movie and a proposed pilot written by Aaron Spelling. Marshal Dave Harmon (Clint Walker) is sent to clean up the town of Yuma.
Only the Marshall gets embroiled in a vendetta from cattle baron Arch King (Morgan Woodward.) The Marshal had arrested his brother who was gunned down in a mysterious jailbreak.
It looks like the Marshal did it but he manages to buy time to find the real culprit. Someone has set the Marshal up.
It could be linked to some greedy men in Yuma. There is a contract to deliver beef to Indian reservations, only it has not been delivered.
The Indians are starving and the beef has been diverted elsewhere.
Post struggles to make this interesting. It really is a television pilot within its narrow limitations. The mystery is not up to much. The main actors are sturdy enough, Walker is solid but bland.
