Synopsis by Sandra Brennan
In this western, the town of Glory prepares to stage its annual Founder's Day showdown on Main Street. The guest gunslingers this year are two notorious gunmen. Unfortunately, the festivities are halted when a drifter rides to town claiming that he has killed one of the gunmen. The town fathers then persuade him to take the deceased's place and his name. Just before the battle, the drifter takes of to a different town where he meets another stranger, the other gunman though the drifter doesn't know it. They become friends and agree that Glory is too lawless for its own good. They vow to clean it up. When they get there, they learn that they were supposed to fight each other. They decide to fake the whole thing. Later they run the wicked men behind the gruesome tradition right out of town and peace ensues.
