GOODYEAR PLAYHOUSE, THE: THE SENTRY (TV)
Summary
One in this series of live dramas presented by Goodyear. In this drama set during the American Civil War, three rebel soldiers sneak across the cumberland and behind union lines in order to destroy a train trestle and prevent supplies from reaching union troops. To reach the trestle, they must kill a sentry standing guard. Later, it seems that this sentry was the younger brother of one of the rebel commandos. Commercials deleted.
