Featured review
Based On Official Newspaper Files & Records
TV's "Stories Of The Century" (1954-1955) was set in the American "Old West" where Matt Clark was a staunch, no-nonsense Railroad Detective whose territorial boundaries often extended well-beyond that of just the confined restrictions of the railroads.
Working together with either one of his trustworthy female sidekicks, Frankie Adams or Margaret Jones - Matt Clark could always be counted on to bring to justice some of the most notorious badmen (and bad women) whoever dared to challenge the law in this untamed frontier of America.
For the most part - "Stories Of The Century" was a fairly entertaining TV Western (from yesteryear) that certainly contained plenty of violence and gun-play in order to move its fast-paced stories about rough'n'rugged cowboys along.
