| Summary |
On the morning of his wedding day, Marshal Will Kane learns that convicted murderer Frank Miller will be arriving on the noon train to exact his revenge against the marshal for putting him in prison. With no one in town willing to help him stand up to Miller and his henchmen, Kane alone must face this deadly gang. A retired marshal's wedding is interrupted when he learns a killer he had sent to jail will return to town on the noon train to seek revenge. The townspeople refuse to help him, so he is forced to take up his badge and guns again, alienating his new bride, a Quaker who is opposed to violence. |
