"When you hang a man you better look at him."A band of vigilantes hang ex-lawman Jed Cooper (Clint Eastwood), believing him guilty of cattle rustling and murder. They leave him for dead, hang him and leave him for dead. Found by a marshall he takes up with Judge Fenton (Pat Hingle), and becomes a Deputy Marshall to exact revenge. But once on the trail he comes to believe the judge is too quick to hang a man and learns to difference between revenge and justice.
Whilst not in the same league as the Dollar trilogy, this is nevertheless a fine western, which brings to the fore the morals of an eye for an eye.
