Revenge for a hanging

In Bush Creek Marshal Mason's life is under threat in his own jail. However, a young fugitive under arrest for abduction, horse theft and murder, saves him. The youngster confesses that he knifed an uncle for the brutal lynching of his father, and the marshal realises that he also has an interest in settling the long-standing feud behind the hanging. Together, the marshal and his young rescuer seek justice - which can only come after further violence and more deaths.
