The Brass Legend (1956)

*detailed plot with possible spoilers*
A small town marshal plans to quit his job once his current term expires. His fiancée's kid brother spots a wanted criminal and tells the marshal about it, which then leads to the criminal's arrest. The kid's role in it is omitted by the marshal, for the sake of the kid's safety. The kid's father resents the omission and tells the local newspaper about the kid's role in the arrest. The kid becomes famous and there is an attempt on his life. The criminal escapes from prison before he goes to trial and sends word to the marshal that he wants a showdown between the two in a secluded place.
*end of possible spoilers*

B-Western without much to recommend it. The plot is reasonably coherent, although some have questioned the plausibility of some of the characters' behavior.
