Jeff Morrow and Claudette Colbert have come to settle in the west where Morrow, a former Union Army veteran is going to be the new schoolteacher. Those two facts annoy the town bully Ed Atwater beyond endurance who is a former Confederate. After he threatens Morrow in the saloon and Morrow punches him out, Atwater says get out of town or start packing a gun and meet me at the appropriate time.

Both Morrow and Colbert are from the east where they do have more established law and order. Imagine High Noon but Grace Kelly going around the town looking for help for her husband and you have a frantic Colbert. Her best scene is with sheriff Denver Pyle who explains that these gunfights are totally legal especially since we're in a territory not a state. That fine point for Colbert is a distinction without a difference.

This was one of Colbert's few small screen appearances and she registers well as the woman who stands by her man. You have to see for yourself how this fine drama ends.

Jim Bradford (Jeff Morrow) and his wife Lucy (Claudette Colbert) have moved out west and Jeff gets a job as the new school teacher. But before he even takes his position, a gunman named Burke takes task with a Yankee coming out west and teaching kids. He tells Jim to leave town or face a shootout. Jim has not even held a gun in years but refuses to leave.

Jim's wife, Lucy, tries to talk Jim into leaving. She also calls upon the Sheriff to put a stop to the fight, to no avail. Now Lucy is running around the entire town looking for help. But with time approaching Jim straps on a gun.

A good story that held the attention of the viewer the entire time. Nice to see the great actress Claudette Colbert on the small screen giving a heart-felt performance. The acting may have been over-the-top for the series but as a movie and theater actress, she puts all into a performance. A wonderful script with a wonderful cast.

Nothing wrong with morrow or colbert but the rest of the cast is nothing, especially denver steaming pyle of crap who plays his usual do nothing role letting his mouth do the walking ... a completely worthless lawman that won't do his job ...
