The Over-the-Hill Gang Rides Again starring Walter Brennan and Fred Astaire is a 1970 ABC Movie of the Calendar week sequel to the Western comedy The Over-the-Hill Gang. The supporting cast includes Edgar Buchanan, Andy Devine, Chill Wills, Lana Wood, and Burt Mustin (all of whom, except Wood, were in The Over-the-Colina Gang). Like the 1969 original, the sequel involves a group of aging Texas Rangers and was written by Richard Carr and directed by George McCowan.
Pat O'Brien had played the second lead in the first flick, but his character was left out of the sequel and he was effectively replaced by Astaire, who was non in the original moving picture.[one]
Richard Widmark played O'Brien'south graphic symbol in a quasi-remake 2 decades later entitled One time Upon a Texas Railroad train, in which the Over-the-Hill Gang, with an entirely new cast including Stuart Whitman, played supporting roles to Willie Nelson's train robber.
This was the final film for iii-time winner Academy Honour-winner Walter Brennan.

Plot [edit]
Old and retired Sergeant Nash Crawford (Brennan), formerly of the Texas Rangers, enters a saloon where his former partner, Gentleman George Asque (Wills), plays poker with a human and beats him 10 times in a row. The man calls George a cheater and prepares to draw his gun, but Nash saves his comrade by calling him "Wyatt," making the stranger mistakenly assume he is Wyatt Earp.
The two go out the saloon. Nash gives George a telegram which says that they should go to Waco because former partner the renowned Baltimore Child (Astaire) is in trouble. Information technology is signed "Friend."
Jason Fitch (Buchanan) is marrying Louise Murphy (Bronson). George and Nash appear on the eve of the hymeneals to take Jason with them to Waco; they convince him to come past shouting the Ranger lawmaking "Brazos!" Jason promises Louise that he will return and leaves with his friends.
In Waco, they discover out that "Friend" was Amos Polk, a sometime outlaw, now a newspaper man. Polk takes them to the Baltimore Kid'due south crudely marked grave, telling them the Kid had been critically wounded after a mortiferous robbery at the Wells Fargo office and was then lynched past the townspeople. At outset it is unclear why Polk called them, just when he shows them the Kid's wallet, they read a note that the Kid wrote, summoning his comrades when he dies. The four sad friends go to the saloon to commiserate, where they run into a drunk who looks very much similar the Baltimore Kid, and is indeed him. They take him back to the newspaper part, and convince Polk to publish that the existent Baltimore Kid is alive and well and non an armed robber.
The comrades clean up the Kid and provide him with some new some apparel and a new gun. His gravestone is removed, and he becomes the Waco city marshal; the old Rangers are now his deputies.
Now it is articulate to everyone that the bandit who killed the previous marshal and his deputies was only posing as the Kid. The bodily gang returns to Waco to think their hidden Wells Fargo contraband and to kill the real Baltimore Kid. A gunfight in the streets of Waco ensues and the Rangers win against the outlaws, merely the Child is shot expressionless. The citizens of Waco bury the Kid over again, this time with honors. The old Rangers leave, but, at the finish of the town, the Baltimore Kid is waiting, very much alive, now able to pb a life of peace and quiet. All of them get with Jason Fitch, who still has his wedding ceremony to attend.
