Description

The only business in the Wild West town of Jericho that corrupt sheriff Alex Flood doesn't control behind the scenes is the stagecoach owned by tough-willed widow Molly Lang and her right-hand man, Hickman. Former marshal Dolan, recently hired by Lang and Hickman as a driver, wants to stay out of the mess, but when he sees Flood's henchman Yarbrough assault Lang, he steps up to fight the corruption.

    There are quite a few former lawmen in this enjoyable western adventure, and for a change Dean Martin is neither the goodie nor the crooner. He’s “Flood” who owns just about everything in the town except the stagecoach line which still belongs to “Molly” (Jean Simmons). When then stage is ambushed, it is carrying “Dolan” (George Peppard) who quickly finds himself embroiled in some local shenanigans and allied to the strong-willed "Molly”. With “Flood” supremely confident about his position and violently imposing his will, it soon falls to the newcomer to try and convene a few decently-minded, if a bit wary, citizens and his wounded long time partner “Ben” (John McIntire) into a force that can take on their nemesis. There’s a solid cast underpinning the efforts of an unusually engaging Peppard who in turn foils well with Simmons and an on-form Martin who makes for quite a decent baddie. There is plenty going on once we have established who is who; the romance is kept to a minimum - indeed, Simmons is anything but the damsel in distress, and though it is all fairly predictable there’s a more complex conclusion with a difference to settle the score.
