Overview

A gunfighter, stranded in the desert, comes across the aftermath of a stage robbery, in which all the passengers were killed. He takes one of the horses to ride to town to report the massacre, but finds himself accused of it. He also finds himself accused of the murder of the local banker, and winds up hiding in the basement of a house where the local sheriff, who is very sick, lives with his daughter.

00:15:31 The whole territory'll be down here.

00:21:51 And when we do find him, I want to deal with him myself.

00:30:29 Then he's still in town?

00:33:50 I'm afraid I couldn't help it.

00:36:21 This isn't a boarding house. Well, drop it in the church collection.

00:38:21 So YOU do the killing. There isn’t always a choice.

00:40:38 I'll give you until dark. Just until dark.

01:04:00 You're being a fool, Nadine.

01:05:59 to protect an accused man from mob violence, no matter what you think.

01:09:08 Try and sleep. You'll feel better.

01:11:24 Nobody was killed in any of them. I don't hold with killing, Nadine.

01:22:58 Here comes Dr Mason.

01:26:04 Tell Stanley to come out and give his orders to me. Who are you?

01:30:27 I'm not leaving you.
