Andrews is a US marshal riding to his new assignment in Stone Junction, Kansas. Van Sickel and Drake mistakenly believe the marshal is after them and they engage in a gun battle. Van Sickel is killed, while Drake is brought to town for trial. Andrews arrives to discover that a lynch-mob mentality reigns in mayor Bettger's town. Russell provides the love interest as the saloon keeper and Drake's ex-fiancee. The townspeople decide to lynch both Andrews and Drake, but an Indian attack gives Andrews a chance to escape with Russell. Director Springsteen handles the numerous plot twists nicely. The final sequence is particularly well done as the warring Indians tear apart Stone Junction. Performances are fine and color is used well. leave a comment
