Alias Jesse James(1959)

Alias Jesse James has Hope playing an insurance salesman who, after selling an expensive policy to the famous outlaw, then has to go West and protect him so his beneficiary can’t collect. The hapless fool rises to heroic heights by accident and mistaken identity; it’s Hope’s favorite storyline and he clearly enjoys himself. A host of Western stars–from James Arness (Gunsmoke) to Gary Cooper (High Noon) make cameo appearances.
