Hang 'em High
The hanging was the best show in town. But they made two mistakes. They hung the wrong man and they didn't finish the job!
Marshall Jed Cooper survives a hanging, vowing revenge on the lynch mob that left him dangling. To carry out his oath for vengeance, he returns to his former job as a lawman. Before long, he's caught up with the nine men on his hit list and starts dispensing his own brand of Wild West justice.
