(Encore)
Dull, downbeat western plays like a TV show, with broad caricatures of men that paint them as either good or evil and not much else. Tony Young is the Marshal of a dusty cattle town forced to shoot a mean cowboy in a bar. The cowboy just happens to be the son of the man that adopted him as a child. He breaks the news to the father, a cripple in a wheelchair, who does not take it well. Meanwhile, Dan Duryea, in a one-note performance, is a determined rustler who takes advantage of the situation. It all leads to the predictable shoot-out in a dark saloon.
