Paladin (Richard Boone) is hired to escort a notorious wife murderer named Fairchild (Whit Bissell) to trial. But during a stopover in Osage Springs, Sheriff Stinchcomb (Paul Fix) demands at gunpoint that Paladin hand Fairchild over to him. It seems that every time the chief of a neighborhood Indian tribe dies, custom dictates that a white scalp be used in the burial ceremony--and Fairchild's scalp just about fills the bill. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
