J. Davis (the name and the stated conditions were about the only things authentic in this film) and his despotic state police commanded in John's City by Captain Jake Thornton. Two young men, Tom Cameron and Ray Novack, flee to the Big Bend area to escape persecution. Ray pretends to be Tom's friend but actually hates him because he is madly jealous that Laura Bannerman is to become Tom's wife. They join forces with Sam Garrett, a killer with a price on his head. Ray tries to kill Garret to collect the reward, but Tom saves Garrett's life and Ray flees back to John's City, where he is taken prisoner. Ray kills Thornton and another trooper, but Tom is blamed for the crimes. Garrett can clear him, but will he? Written by Les Adams See less
