Tales of the Texas Rangers - Dead or Alive
In April, 1947 a French freighter carrying a cargo of ammonium nitrate blew up in the harbor at Texas City.
The blast set off a chain of explosions at refineries, chemical plants and tin smelters. The entire harbor disappeared in billowing black smoke and flames.
Knowing that his girlfriend's brother worked in the refinery, and was likely killed in the blast, a wanted criminal being pursued by the law comes up with a plan to halt his manhunt. He convinces his girlfriend to switch his identity with that of her brother.
