A lawman is torn between his devotion to justice and his family when his son stands accused of robbery and murder. He is convinced of the boy's innocence but wants to see it proven in court - however, as evidence mounts up against him, he is forced to break the laws he swore to uphold to bring down the real killer. Western, starring Sterling Hayden and Constance Ford.

Frontier peacekeeper Sheriff Galt faces a crisis of conscience in The Iron Sheriff. In the aftermath of a robbery-murder, Galt follows the trail of evidence directly to his own son, Benjie. Sworn to uphold the law at all costs, Galt is grimly determined to see that Benjie will receive a fair trial without any coercion on his part. But the townsfolk have already decided that the sheriff will try to spring the boy, and a lynch-mob mentality slows festers its way through the community. As the trial proceeds, it becomes obvious that Benjie is going to hang for his alleged crime, but there's still one or two surprises in store.
