James Drury is a stoic farmer taking his wife to their new homestead by wagon. They reluctantly help a dying sheriff transport prisoner Gene Barry to justice. Barry turns out to be a liar and master manipulator, quickly appealing to Drury's wife and turning her against him. A couple of other weak-minded men also give in to his suggestions. Barry eventually escapes from his restraints and seduces the woman. This leads to the big showdown between Drury and Barry for the finale. Talky blend of the horror and western genres, with Barry supposedly the devil, though personally I don't think it was literal.
