Storyline

John Miller, an ex-lawman bent on taking over Lincoln County frames Garrett and Billy the Kid for cattle rustling by mixing animals from his herd with those that Pat and Billy were driving to market. To make the evidence completely convincing, Miller pays a saloon girl to plant evidence on Pat and lie under oath during the pre-trail hearing and then murders her so she can't recant her testimony.
