When a ruthless prison con comes to Cimarron, he has more on his mind than just sweeping the floors of the Wayfarers Inn. Knowing that a prison train loaded with convicts will be going through an abandon ghost town outside of Cimarron, A-1 Joe Lehigh devises a plan to free his prison buddies. After kidnapping Francis and holding him as a hostage, Joe swears to kill the young man unless Crown releases the outlaw’s former gang. Realising that Francis has been shot and that he is slowly bleeding to death, Crown faces insurmountable odds when he must both find Francis and stop A-1 Joe from freeing his gang. A great sinister performance by Broderick Crawford.
