An outlaw falsely accused of murder realizes the only way to clear himself is to become a lawman.
No, this is not a western version of a star is born(!) but a moderately intriguing western with a fresh and unusual idea of Johnny Mack Brown being an ex-outlaw working as a store clerk, and the dead sheriff's late sister encouraging him to pick the law man's badge. What was needed was a bigger budget, a sharper script and a much more developed plotline as the execution of the story falls short. However, it's great to see Johnny Mack Brown take on the bad guys; he acts really well too.
