A lowly frontier shopkeeper tries to play down the fact that he is the son of a legendary gunfighter, until a challenge from a hard-bitten outlaw prompts him to prove that he is a chip off the old block. Western, starring Glenn Ford, Russ Tamblyn, Broderick Crawford and Jeanne Crain.

Whenever it becomes known how good he is with guns, ex-gunman George and his wife Dora have to flee the town, in fear of all the gunmen who might want to challenge him. Unfortunately he again spills his secret when he's drunk. All citizens swear to keep his secret and support him to give up his guns forever -- but a boy tells the story to a gang of wanted criminals. Their leader threatens to burn down the whole town, if he doesn't duel him.
