Riding into the Wyoming town of Bender, Paladin (Richard Boone) is hired by accused murderer Bart Holgate (Harold J. Stone). Though willing to answer for his crimes, Holgate is terrified that he will be lynched before he ever reaches the courtroom, thus he agrees to pay Paladin to keep him alive until his trial. But Amy Bender (a pre-Police Woman Angie Dickinson), the sister of Holgate's victim, is determined to mete out her own brand of justice, Paladin or no Paladin! ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
