The Hangman

1880s deputy marshal Mackenzie Bovard (Robert Taylor), whose determined pursuit of lawbreakers earned him the title nickname, tracks down Johnny Bishop (Jack Lord), the final member of an outlaw gang involved in a fatal stage robbery. To Bovard’s surprise, the residents of the frontier town where the reformed Bishop has settled down--including the sheriff (Fess Parker)--rally behind him, forcing Bovard to rethink his harsh brand of justice. Compelling western drama also stars Tina Louise. 87 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital stereo.
