synopsis
Jason (Chuck Connors) rides into a small town to visit Frank Allison (John Anderson), who once saved his life. Unfortunately, the reunion is neither happy nor lengthy: Allison is scheduled to be hanged the next day. It now falls to Jason to prevent Allison's embittered son Lon (Beau Bridges) from exacting revenge against the townsfolk for his father's execution. Featured in the cast is Whitney Blake, the mother of actress Meredith Baxter and the co-creator (with husband Alan Manings) of the long-running sitcom One Day at a Time.
