Dean Martin and Rock Hudson star as childhood friends who find themselves on opposite side of the law in this thrilling, action-packed Western adventure. Billy Massey (Dean Martin) and Chuck Jarvis (Rock Hudson) have been buddies since childhood. But when Chuck married Kate (Susan Clark), Billy took his cue and left the newlyweds on their own. Chuck's star shone bright as he distinguished himself as the town's hard-working, honest sheriff, while Billy drifted into a life of crime. The two friends' paths cross, however, when Billy robs a train and it is Chuck who must hunt and arrest him. So begins a classic confrontation in the Old West, as Chuck is determined to catch and possibly help his old pal, and Billy is just as determined not to get caught, no matter the price.
