Alan Ladd stars in Aaron Spelling's Western from 1960 about a man out for revenge.Â

His home burnt down by Yankees at the climax of the Civil War, penniless Mitch (Alan Ladd) and his heavily pregnant wife are forced to find a new home and take to the road in their wagon.Â

On the journey his wife falls ill. Mitch quickly drives to the nearest frontier town in search of a doctor, but upon arrival they are met with indifference and no compassion due to being unable to pay for treatment, leading his wife to die.Â

Feeling guilty, the townspeople offer Mitch a job of deputy sheriff. As the years go by, he becomes a respected member of society in the now peaceful town. On the outside, he appears to be the model citizen, but he is holding on to the memory of his tragic lost, and letting grief and anger fester.Â

He begins to hatch a plan for revenge against the town, and bring it to its knees.Â
