Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Paladin (Richard Boone) accepts a job from wealthy Sid Morgan (Denver Pyle), who claims he needs protection from outlaw Howard Gorman (Steve Gravers). While escorting Morgan and his young fiancee Stacy (Jacqueline Scott) to Silver City, Paladin confronts Gorman, who does indeed seem to have a vendetta against Morgan. Only too late does Paladin discover that he and Gorman have been maneuvered into a bloody showdown merely for Morgan's perverse amusement.
