Robert Ryan is the voice of reason in a town that is looking finally for a chance to nail young fast gun David Janssen who shoots down someone trying to shoot him down. The problem is that the bullet is in the back.
Ryan reluctantly serves on the jury that sheriff Ed Platt picks and does a Henry Fonda only with a six man jury. But ironically his efforts come to naught.
Nice performances all around from Ryan as a man of reason in a hell bent town, from Janssen who knows how disliked he is and from the sheriff Ed Platt.
Ironically it is only the audience that knows the real truth of what happened with Janssen.
