Summary
In this Western, U.S. Marshal Wild Bill Hickok and his deputy Jingles escort a critically injured judge and a Wells Fargo box on a stagecoach, only to discover that passenger John Carter is actually the fugitive Doc Thursday. The Rio Kid ambushes the group, threatening to expose Carter unless he helps rob the stage and kill the judge. After a tense confrontation where Carter refuses to betray his conscience, Hickok tracks down and kills the Rio Kid. Finally, Carter reveals his true identity to save the judge’s life, performing emergency surgery to ensure the judge survives the journey.
