The Hangman

[Machine Translation] What awaits the sheriff who captures a robber and murderer is the surprisingly cold eyes of the townspeople! The story of a righteous sheriff who stands in the middle of law and humanity and struggles with his decision! /Robert Taylor, who was known as the "eternal handsome man" and became more and more austere, appeared in this unique western for the first time after he left his long-term contract with MGM and became a freelance actor. -- Deputy U.S. Marshal Bovard (R. Taylor), nicknamed the "Hangman" (executioner), is a man who never gives up until he finds and captures a criminal, no matter what it takes. One of the fugitives Bovard was looking for was a man named Johnny Butterfield. He was one of the robbers and murderers, and there was information that he was hiding in the town of North Creek. Johnny's associates had already been executed and his only surviving accomplice was to be executed in the near future. If this man died, there would be no one to explain his guilt, so they had to find Johnny as soon as possible. Before Bobard heads into town, he overhears that there is a young widow who knew Johnny well. Her name was Sheila ( T. Louise ), and she lived a poor life in the laundry on the base, but she was a beautiful woman who stood out from the crowd. Bobard, who did not know Butterfield's face, visits Sheila and asks her to accompany him to North Creek... Enclosed is an 8-page commentary.
