Als der lokale Bösewicht Bubba Reeves aus dem Gefängnis ausbricht, macht sich nicht nur Rogers' Sohn, der eine Affäre mit der Frau des Ausgebrochenen hat, Sorgen: Eine ganze Reihe von Bürgern fürchtet Reeves, die den Jungen lieber tot als lebendig sehen würden. Doch genau das hat sich Sheriff Calder vorgenommen: Er will Reeves schützen - und riskiert damit die Konfrontation mit dem Lynchmob und Rogers.
Most everyone in town thinks that Sheriff Calder is merely a puppet of rich oil-man Val Rogers. When it is learned that local baddie Bubber Reeves has escaped prison, Rogers' son is concerned because he is having an affair with Reeves' wife. It seems many others in town feel they may have reasons to fear Reeves. Calder's aim is to bring Reeves in alive, unharmed. Calder will have to oppose the powerful Rogers on one hand and mob violence on the other, in his quest for justice.
