A U.S. marshal is riding across a desert and is shot at by two guys. He kills one of them and arrests the other. It so happens that those two guys were wanted for killing a Native American, and the townsfolks want to lynch him, which the marshal will not allow, of course. During his stay at that town, he will uncover some dirty secrets behind that lynching fury.
The premise of this has a very bad guy who runs a small town and wants to commit an injustice against two drifters, in order to cover up a crime he committed. But there are further layers to this: the crime was motivated by racism (that evilest of all evil things). The details of the premise are not well thought out. The impression I get is that, in a time when society was being bombarded with liberal ideology, filmmakers got away more easily with some of the outrageously implausible assumptions behind the events in this movie.
