- Synopsis
- A battle between justice and crime on the Wyoming frontier--and one man's choice between them When Max Norman, ex-New York City law clerk, arrives in the frontier town of Douglas, Wyoming, in 1887 and changes his name to Roger Valentine, he is gambling for high stakes. He intends to woo and wed the local schoolteacher, Mary Wilson, before she learns that she has inherited a million-dollar fortune. Playing the role of an honest citizen, however, he brings on himself the enmity of the notorious Hafer brothers--and becomes the target for a sharpshooter. Or is the bullet intended for that genial townsman, Charlie Redstone, instead? In spite of himself, Max is drawn into a violent situation of murder, blackmail and kidnapping, which appears to have its origins in a mysterious murder-robbery some years earlier. Caught in a crossfire, he is forced to choose between fighting for law and order or joining the crooks. Then, having made his choice, Max backs it up with a gun--and emerges from the exciting action that follows a wiser man, no longer a tenderfoot.
