A stagecoach is transporting the snobbish fop Jack Cooper (Craig Sheffer); the couple Mamie Hollister (Robin Westphal), and her abusive husband Zeb Hollister (John Furlong); Marshall Bill Speakes (Sam Elliott) and his prisoner Sarah O'Rourke (Linda Fiorentino) that will be hanged. Out of the blue, three robbers attack the stagecoach and kill the driver and the guard. But Speakes assumes the control of the stagecoach and shoots the bandits, killing also one robber that climbs on the back. But the handcuffed Sarah grabs his gun and surprises and dominates Speakes. She robs the stagecoach but is surprised by Jack that steals her and flees with the money. But later, he is surprised by Sarah in his hotel room, but Speakes and Hollister surprises them again and they flee together. Jack learns that Speakes is the father-in-law of Sarah and she killed his son that was an abusive husband. Now, Marshall forgets the law and organizes a posse to hunt down Sarah.
"The Desperate Trail" is a TV western movie with a cat and mouse story. All the characters are "bad guys", including the Marshall, and the viewers will certainly cheer for Jack and Sarah. The plot is forgettable but it is worthwhile watching as a non-serious entertainment, especially for fans of the gorgeous Linda Fiorentino. My vote is six.
Title (Brazil):"Na Trilha dos Fugitivos" ("In the Trail of the Fugitives")
