Son of a famous marshal (John Agar) takes on the job of ridding the town of a power crazed gunman. The inhabitants are too frightened to support him and his father is killed when he lends a helping hand. In the showdown the towns-people back him and he kills the thug.

Starts out as a standard town taming story and transitions into an interesting tale, mainly due to the marshal having an injury which slows his gun from leaving his holster. A dangerous thing considering he's going against a sadistic self-proclaimed town boss ( well played by Robert Strauss) who quick on the draw. This alone hooks you in to its lean, well told story. It's quite enjoyable with a solid performance by John Agar and some good shootouts. I was quite surprised, I thought this would be very average with cookie cutter characters.
