Howard Duff stars as Marshall Sheriff Frank Smeed. He guns down a gangsters henchman and then proceeds to steal the money that is hidden in the cabin.
When he returns to town he claims self defense and the head Sheriff Wayne Forrester (Addison Richards) opens an investigation. Smeed's best friend, also a Deputy Marshall named Bill Gentry (Bill Williams) does his own investigation.
He discovers several things that implicate Smeed and Smeed tries his best to cover up all the evidence. The bodies start to pile up and Smeed gets desparate.
With both the law and gangsters following him he finds his luck running out. Smeed tries to kill Gentry after he discovers that Smeed has indeed stolen the 8000 dollars in gold.
The cast in this film all do an excellent job, especially Duff as the thief eho must pay for his crimes. Lesley Selander directed this film and it turned out prettty damned good.
The rest of ther cast includes Douglas Fowley, Henry Calvin and Lita Baron whose opening scenes of hewr singing a song called I Hate You while using a whip is an eye opener indeed.
