him out of his misery, running from his life with the sweet Edwards to chase after a saloon girl, sexy Calvet. He is also the man who killed Calhoun's friend, and after Calhoun finds out, the two engage in a gun battle. Mitchell outdraws Calhoun, but is suddenly stricken and dies as a result of
his tumor. Direction concentrates more upon characterization than action, but suspense ...
