Cowpoke Robert Horton stumbles upon a dying sheriff and his two prisoners. He gets deputized on the spot and reluctantly agrees to help take them cross country to be legally hanged for their crimes. On the trek he must deal with bounty hunters, Indians, the elements, the prisoners, relatives of victims of the prisoners out for revenge, the hangman and let's not forget the lonely pioneer woman. It actually turns out to be fairly entertaining, belying its made-for-TV origins. Sal Mineo shines as one of the prisoners, as does Diane Baker as the stern, practical woman who saves Horton's life more than once.
