ln turn of the century Arizona, Iawlessness reigned untiI the state's rangers struck back. Captain Tom Rydding and right hand man, CIint, tame the Iast wiId frontier of the American west in this gritty late '50s TV series. "26 Men" is based on the real life expIoits of the Arizona Rangers, who were commissioned to cIean up the outlaw territory in preparation for statehood. The show is deIivered in the same "just the facts" cadence as "Dragnet" and with a simiIar visual styIe. Here are four episodes from the show's three season run.
