The Black Whip is a post-American Civil War Western film directed by Charles Marquis Warren and starring Hugh Marlowe and Coleen Gray. The film brief describes the film as "two brothers rescue four dance-hall girls, and encounter trouble from a villain wielding a wicked whip". The film depicts the time as April 1867, when post-war derelicts, plunderers, and looters continue their crazed violence out west. The story and screenplay were written by Orville Hampton. Sets from the "Gunsmoke" TV series were used.
