Dana Andrews gives a convincing performance as Jim Guthrie who nearly got lynched and returns to town three years later to find out killed the brother of the woman he was going out with.
The victim did not want Guthrie marrying his sister, Laurie who is now married to someone else, her husband might be one of the killers.
A sympathetic Sheriff gives Guthrie three hours to find the killer. A saloon girl who had a thing for Guthrie helps him out.
Guthrie goes after four friends of his who shouted the loudest for him being lynched.
It is a routine western with a countdown, a straightforward story with a child born out of wedlock. There is no hint as to why Guthrie returned to town to clear his name and what he has been up to for the past few years.
