Peaceful physician Dr. Madison Butler (a fine and likeable performance by William Katt) gains possession of the dead man's gun after delivering a baby. When Butler makes the decision to tend to wounded killer Dalton Coe (well played by Robert Duncan), he's forced to use the dead man's gun in order to keep an angry mob who want Coe's head at bay.
Director Neill Fearnley relates the gripping story at a steady pace as well as maintains a tough serious tone throughout. The smart script by Ed and Howard Spielman offers a smart exploration on moral responsibility and the need to settle old scores. Moreover, there are sound supporting contributions from Allison Hossack as Butler's caring wife Anna, Dwight McFee as the vengeful Brendan McShane, and Campbell Lane as the cowardly Sheriff Frank Lampeer. The plot culminates in a bloody and exciting gunfight before reaching a surprising conclusion. A worthy show.
