George Hansen (Sterling Hayden) marches towards the center of a Western town with a harpoon and squares off against Johnny Crale (Nedrick Young), a man in black armed with the more traditional choice for a shoot-out. Terror in a Texas Town begins with this powerful image, then flashes back to its story. Sleazy business man Ed McNeil (Sebastian Cabot) is running off homesteaders from valuable land. Only former whaler Sven Hansen (Ted Stanhope) and Jose Mirada (Victor Millan) decide to stick it out. McNeil hires Crale (a longtime hired gun with a metal right hand who's learned to shoot lefty) to kill Hansen as an example. Hansen tries to defend himself, but an old man with a harpoon is no match for a man with a gun. Hansen's son George arrives in town sometime later to gain his inheritance and find out what happened to his father-but can he discover the truth behind McNeil's scheme and Crale's murder before it's too late?![]()
