    At a time in his career when no studio would hire Welles to direct, he turned to acting to finance his own projects, and Welles accepted the role of wealthy land baron Virgil Renchler in this modern-day Western noir. In this allegory of Fascism and corruption, an earnest sheriff (Jeff Chandler) investigates the brutal murder of a Mexican laborer. The tyrannical rancher Renchler is his first suspect and the inevitable showdown between good and evil ensues.
