from a horse into a barbed wire fence. The old cavalryman blames society for the changes they're making in the West he loves,
by turning it into fence country. He orders a beautiful casket for his friend's body, and drunkenly goes to pick it up. When
he and his friends set fire to the funeral parlor, the undertaker presses charges. In view of his outstanding Army service
record, it's difficult for his commanding officer to punish him. Again, while drunk, Disher accidentally kills one of
Cimarron City's leading citizens. Sergeant Disher reports back to his cavalry post, expecting to be sentenced to a few months
in the stockade. He is shocked when his stripes are ripped off his uniform and the major orders him off government property.
For the first time in over twenty years, Disher no longer has an army home; it is relief to the anguished sergeant when
Marshal Crown hunts him down. Sergeant Disher refuses to turn himself in, and Crown is forced to kill him.

Lummy, who decides that Crown has monetary value, dead or alive. When the marshal's empty, bloodied wagon returns to Cimarron

Lorton. As the posse disbands, Clo offers a $500 reward for Crown's missing body. Cimmaron City's only reputable doctor,
Dr. Kihlgren, is away, and Dulcey is forced to lean on the unsteady arm of ex-doctor Nathan Tio. Outside town, Tio and Dulcey
find a grave and the marshal's badge. Dulcey is grief-stricken. Lummy brings Crown to town in his wagon, but when he claims
the $500 reward from Clo Vardeman, the wagon is empty. The Vardemans begin a search for the marshal. When Strawdy discovers
Crown in Dr. Kihlgren's office, the marshal shoots him. After Dr. Tio treats Crown's wounds, he insists on returning to the
Wayfarer's Inn to face Clo and Kerwin. Crown kills Clo, and three members of the disbanded posse shoot Kerwin. Lummy happily
leaves town with the $500 reward money which Clo Vardeman had left on the bar of the Wayfarer's Inn.

tried and sentenced to be hanged. Handcuffed to Sarah Lou Burke, who has been falsely sentenced for the murder of a local

in another direction. As MacGregor is captured, Marshal Crown and deputy Francis Wilde arrive and fall into the posse's trap.
Sarah leaps on Sheriff Hawke's back from an over-hanging rock butte, and in the melee Crown captures him. The marshal uses

robbery, but Crown locks him up before leaving with a posse to trail the other three robbers. When the posse catches up with
the three, only Darcy is still alive. Before he goes to prison, Darcy is informed by Crown that the payroll sacks contained
only paper and that he(Crown) had turned the real money over to the army before the robbery took place. Darcy soon escapes
