Lawman plot
"He gave the West justice right up to its neck... then rammed more down its throat."
When a bunch of drunken cowboys from the Bronson Ranch visit the town of Bannock, they leave a trail of destruction and an old man is killed by a stray bullet. Bannock's determined marshal, Jered Maddox, arrives in Sabbath a little later to arrest everyone involved in the old man's death. Sabbath is ruled by the influential rancher Vince Bronson, who wants to buy off the dead man. Maddox, however, accepts no compromise and continues to hunt the culprits. Sabbath's aging marshal Cotton Ryan doesn't help Maddox because he's been recruited by Vince Bronson and wants a quiet old age. It first becomes complex for Maddox, when the people of Sabbath also turn against him and the wife of his old flame Laura Shelby is among the culprits.
