Lawman
He gave the West justice right up to its neck... then rammed more down its throat.
Overview
While passing through the town of Bannock, a bunch of drunken cattlemen go overboard with their celebrating and accidentally kill an old man with a stray shot. They return home to Sabbath unaware of his death. Bannock lawman Jered Maddox later arrives there to arrest everyone involved on a charge of murder. Sabbath is run by land baron Vince Bronson, a benevolent despot, who, upon hearing of the death, offers restitution for the incident.

This town "Sabbath" has a marshal of it's own in "Ryan" (an underused Robert Ryan) who is a long time friend of the town's kingpin "Bronson" (Lee J. Cobb). Now the latter man is initially qu…
