Entertainment Reviews:
The plot and characters are awfully hackneyed, but director Robert Parrish has crisply and graphically put on film a story about crooked politics and violence in the California of a century ago.

Product Description:
Joel McCrea plays 19th-century miner Rick Nelson in THE SAN FRANCISCO STORY. The year is 1856, and Frisco is a wide-open town. To stem the activities of crooks and con artists, newspaper editor Jim Martin (Onslow Stevens) organizes a group of peace-keeping vigilantes. Nelson, an old friend of Martin's, arrives in the Golden Gate city to help out. The villain of the piece is political boss Andrew Cain (Sidney Blackmer), who regards San Francisco as his own personal fiefdom. When not battling Cain's bought-off flunkies and hulking henchman, Nelson dallies with Cain's erstwhile girlfriend Adelaide McCall (Yvonne DeCarlo). Not so much a Western as a historical actioner, THE SAN FRANCISCO STORY is tip-top entertainment.
