Paladin (Richard Boone) receives a summons for help from Abel Hix, a legendary gunfighter nearing the end of his life. By the time Paladin arrives in Hix's home town, he finds that the old man's life has already ended, and not in a pretty fashion. It now falls to Paladin to make certain that Abel gets a decent funeral and burial, despite protests from certain less savory representatives of the local populace. Actor-songwriter Paul Tripp, former host of the classic TV's children's show Mr. I. Magination, appears as Reverend Harper.
