Vaughn is captured by a posse under the lead of MacMurray, who wants to send "the Kid" to the gallows.

Six men think they saw Eddie 'the Kid Campbell (Robert Vaughn, The Man From U.N.C.L.E.) shoot downMarshal Cain in cold blood. But only respected lawman Ben Cutler (Fred MacMurray, The Caine Mutiny) would swear to it in court. For Ben was determined to see The Kid hang for the crime. But was it because Campbell was a murderer or because Cutler's daughter (Joan Blackman, Blue Hawaii) was The Kid's sweetheart, and no father would ever let his little girl marry an outlaw? Sentenced to the gallows, Campbell's sensitive demeanor soon convinces everyone that he's been framed. Everyone, that is, except Ben Cutler. For only Ben knows whether The Kid's truly guilty or not, and justice will be done, even if he has to take the law into his own hands.
