This story first came to light as "The Last Man" on TV's "Playhouse 90" in 1957. Ladd stars as an offbeat hero who schemes to destroy a town because its citizens refused to help when his wife was dying. Now consumed with guilt, the townspeople offer Ladd the job of deputy sheriff. Killing
the sheriff and then claiming that his death was the result of an ambush, Ladd takes over the town's top law enforcement job. This enables him to bring together an unlikely group of misfits (Murray, Coe, O'Herlihy, and Michaels) to help him rob the town's bank and kill those people who earlier
refused him help. After pulling off the robbery, Ladd decides to do away with his cohort...
