Overview
Drifter Cole Harden is accused of stealing a horse and faces hanging by self-appointed Judge Roy Bean, but Harden manages to talk his way out of it by claiming to be a friend of stage star Lillie Langtry, with whom the judge is obsessed, even though he has never met her. Tensions rise when Harden comes to the defense of a group of struggling homesteaders who Judge Bean is trying to drive away.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A drifter uses quick wit and a bluff to survive a tyrant's arbitrary judgment, then finds himself forced to defend the powerless against corruption. It's a Western built on moral confrontation rather than gunfights, where the battle is for decency in a lawless land.
