Pop star Darin (who also wrote the film score) is an ex-Confederate officer who has accidentally killed a friend. He wants to avoid all violence, but Nielsen, a cattle baron and brother of the man Darin killed, appoints him sheriff. This remake of the 1956 film SHOWDOWN AT ABILENE is okay for what it is, but it was panned in the US, and Hale, a veteran TV director making his feature film debut, retreated to his old medium.
