Gunfighter-turned-rancher Roy Calvert (Robert F. Simon) has a deep-seated hatred for the citizens of the town of Benedict, whom he holds responsible for the death of his wife. Seeking vengeance, Calvert denies the neighboring cattlemen access to the water on his property. Hired to talk sense to Calvert, Paladin comes face to face with the embittered rancher's son Jeff (Paul Carr), who has been trained by his father to be a cold-blooded gunslinger, willing to kill anyone who crosses his path without question or pause. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
