"Alias Jesse James" (1959) is a Bob Hope western comedy movie that featured a number of movie and television frontiersmen (James Garner as Bret Maverick, Fess Parker as Davy Crockett, Gary Cooper, Roy Rogers, Hugh O'Brien as Wyatt Earp, James Arness as Marshal Matt Dillon, Ward Bond as Major Seth Adams, etc.) in their most readily recognizable outfits for brief cameo appearances. Many of these cameos are seldom seen today due to myriad legal problems with the rights, but Hope's clout at the time was so great that he managed to gather a dazzling array of screen cowboys for the original theatrical release.

Plot

The outlaw T.J. 'Jesse' James (Wendell Corey) tries to kill insurance agent Milford Farnsworth (Bob Hope) who has been mistaken for him in order to collect on a big policy.
