But madness, brutality and murder seem to run rampant here, and a Texan named Roy Bean pressures Jake to bring much-needed sanity to the lawless outpost. But accepting the job of Marshal could be Jake's last humanitarian act. Because a bounty hunter is rolling in on the evening stage to collect on fugitive Jake Horn.
