Fulfilling his latest assignment, Paladin captures a cruel and crafty killer named John Tyree (Richard Jaeckel). But that is hardly the end of the story: Now Paladin and his prisoner must embark upon a long and thirsty trek through the desert in order to bring Tyree to trial. In search of water, the two men come across an isolated shack inhabited by a brother and sister (Elen Willard, Lester Maxwell)--which will soon be under siege by a band of marauders, with whom Tyree hopes to strike a diabolical deal.
