    Six men think they saw Eddie 'the Kid Campbell (Robert Vaughn) shoot down Marshal Cain in cold blood. But only respected lawman Ben Cutler (Fred MacMurray) would swear to it in court. For Ben was determined to see The Kid hang for the crime. But was it because Campbell was a murderer or because Cutler's daughter (Joan Blackman) was The Kid's sweetheart, and no father would ever let his little girl marry an outlaw? Sentenced to the gallows, Campbell's sensitive demeanor soon convinces everyone that he's been framed. Everyone, that is, except Ben Cutler. For only Ben knows whether The Kid's truly guilty or not, and justice will be done, even if he has to take the law into his own hands.
