Story: Sergeant
Bill Disher, a 20 year cavalry veteran, is driven to the brink
of rage when close friend Little Tom is killed in an accident.
While grieving over the death of his military comrade, Disher
bitterly blames the modernization and expansion of the West as
being the cause of Little Tom's fate. While in a drunken rage,
Disher burns down Cimarron's funeral parlor. He then later accidentaly
kills one of Cimarron's prominant citizens. Knowing that the local
townspeople want vigilante justice at the end of a rope, Disher
escapes from jail. This forces the hand of Marshal Crown to hunt
Disher down and fight him to the death. Outstanding performances
turned in by both Stuart Whitman and Richard Boone.
