In order to foil the Vardeman's scheme, Crown decides to send the killer by train to a neighbouring town for trial. However, while executing his plan the Marshal kills one of the Vardeman brothers and is himself shot, wounded and left for dead. With the Marshal missing it's up to the good folk of Cimarron to band together and save him but when Clo Vardeman, the boy's father offers a reward on Crown's head, will he come back dead or alive?
