Confederate Captain Alan Westcott, posing as a horse supplier for the army, is ordered to infiltrate the Union lines and contact William Quantrill to arrange a raid on the arsenal at Lawrence, Kansas. Westcott meets and falls in love with Sue Walters. Westcott's activities and associations begin to cause the Union vigilante committee to become suspicious of him, and he moves quickly in utilizing the Quantrill raiders. After laying their plans to attack Lawrence, Westcott learns that the arsenal is being moved out by wagon trail. He calls off the attack on Lawrence in favor of attacking the wagon train, but Quantrill pulls a treacherous double-cross and rides into Lawrence on a personal mission of bloodshed, murder and looting.
A Civil War guerilla gang plans an attack on a Kansas arsenal.
Edward Bernds is best known for helming Three Stooges' movies, such as "Gold Raiders," "The Three Stooges Meet Hercules," and "The Three Stooges in Orbit." Mind you, Bernds dabbled in other genres, such as science fiction with "The Queen of Outer Space" and "Space Master X-7." He also made his share of westerns, including "The Storm Rider," "Escape from Red Rock," as well as episodes from "Colt .45" and "Sugarfoot." "Quantrill's Raiders" appears to be his only historical oater, and loosely based on the exploits of the partisan Confederate guerrilla raider stretches the bounds of reality considerably. Of course, it is no surprise that Hollywood would embroider history, and "Quantrill's Raiders" is no exception. This concise Civil War western depicts the events leading up to and including the infamous raid on Lawrence, Kansas. In this version of the events, Quantrill commands an outfit that numbers less than 30 riders, and his men and he are wiped out when they attack Lawrence due to the foresight of an undercover Confederate captain under General Sterling Price who demands that Quantrill confined his depredations to military objects. Captain Alan 'Wes' Westcott (Steve Cochran of "White Heat") is a Confederate spy masquerading as a former Union soldier, Michael Davis, who plans to see horses to the commandant when he rides into Lawrence under an assumed identity. Westcott's masquerade initially succeeds in part because he tags along with a Union patrol that encounters an ambush set up by Quantrill. He saves the commander of the patrol and cuts a dashing figure until fire with his twin six-guns. Of course, virtually all of the small arms in this movie are anachronistic. The casting of veteran tough guy Leo V. Gordon as the notorious guerrilla renegade is probably the best thing about "Quantrill's Raiders," which boils down basically to being little more than a conventional horse opera taking place in the Civil War.

"The Raiders" scenarist Polly James sanitizes history significantly by allowing Union authorities to dispatch Quantrill at Lawrence in 1863. He died a couple of years after the raid. Moreover, his trigger-happy raiders don't put the town to the torch and slay hundreds as they did in real life. The Lawrence raid went down in history as one of the most lethal incursions during the border combat in the Civil War. Our dubious hero clashes with Quantrill because the eponymous villain wants to loot the town like a terrorist rather than carry out military initiatives. At one point, Westcott trifles with Quantrill's own woman, but she meets her death trying to help him. Meantime, our hero has another filly in his stable, Sue Walters (Diane Brewster of "Black Patch"), who it turns out was once involved with Quantrill. She runs the boarding house where Westcott hangs his hat. History buff so American Civil War films may dismiss this 72-minute shenanigan, while western fans may find it tolerable. The production values for this Allied Artist release are above-average, and you'll spot several familiar faces, such as Will Wright, Myron Healy, Glenn Strange, and Lane Chandler. The John Wayne western "Dark Command," the Clint Eastwood oater "The Outlaw Josey Wales," and Ang Lee's "Ride with the Devil" starring Tobey Maguire are better films about this turbulent time. Probably the most incredible thing about this routine undercover operation oater is that the Union commander doesn't have our hero shot as a spy, presumably because he warned the citizens of Lawrence about Quantrill's impending raid. It doesn't help matters that Westcott behaves in a dastardly fashion when he engineers his escape from the Lawrence jail by holding a knife to the throat of a young stable boy with whom he is friends. Guess you can get away with anything in Hollywood. Quite simply, this film is despicable. It's despicable because it perverts American history and what actually transpired in Lawrence, Kansas circa 1863. Of course the antagonist in the film, William Quantrill, portrayed by Leo Gordon, is a nasty, hard drinking, boorish leader of a gang of border ruffians. Director Edward Bernds creates such a detestable caricature of Quantrill, that it makes one wonder why so many men followed him? Clearly, the film's agenda was to paint Quantrill in the most simplistic terms as evil and loathsome. This film simply does not have the even handed perspective of Ang Lee's "Ride with the Devil", which far more honestly describes the life and times of an 1860's Missouri bushwhacker.

The film is completely biased in its perspective. Judge Wood laments in one scene, "I wonder what would cause a man to be a traitor", referring to a past acquaintance who decided to side with the South. There's never a mention of atrocities committed by the "Kansas Red Legs". In fact there is no mention of them at all in this film. Sadly the movie falls in to the category of, "never let facts get in the way of a good story".

The plot line builds to a crescendo of the final scene with Bill Quantrill and his men attacking Lawrence, Kansas. In this fantasy version of the events that took place on August 21, 1863 in Lawrence, Kansas, Quantrill is repelled by the Union forces in town. In reality, Quantrill sacked Lawrence thereby achieving a great Confederate victory. Contrary to published reports at the time, the individuals killed in the Lawrence Raid were nearly all Kansas Red Legs or partisans, whose notorious malevolent excursions in to Missouri were well documented. The film does allude to the fact that Quantrill maintained a list of Red Legs in Lawrence, whose prior actions he felt deserved retaliation. As a matter of record, Quantrill asserted that his motivation for burning Lawrence came from the Osceola, Missouri Raid of 1861 in which all but three of that town's eight hundred buildings were torched. Led by Kansas Jayhawker and future Kansas senator James Lane, nine local citizens were summarily rounded up in Osceola, and after a brief trial, executed. There's no mention of the sacking of Osceola in this film. Also not mentioned is the Kansas City jail collapse of August 14, 1863, where four Southern civilian women, kin to Quantrill's men, were killed. Nine civilians were seriously injured in the jail collapse.

For his part it should be noted that Senator Lane escaped probable death during the Lawrence Raid by running in to a corn field in his nightshirt and hiding. Most historians would agree that retaliation is simply part of war and ascribing a sinister intent to Quantrill's actions is unjustifiable.

In an attempt to hold the interest of the 1950's wife who was dragged to the theater by her husband to see another quasi-Western, there is a romantic interlude between Captain Alan "Wes" Westcott", portrayed by Steve Cochran, and Sue Walters, portrayed by Diane Brewster. Westcott warnsthe town's people of Quantrill's imminent raid, and thereby saves the federal munitions depot. Shortly thereafter he gives himself up to the authorities. Judge Wood quips to Sue Walters that her love interest will spend some time incarcerated in a prison camp but will return to her after the war. This was a convenient and happy way to end the film, but is patently inaccurate as to the period and events.
