Plot
Former inmate and alcoholic Ben Chamberlain (Fonda) comes to a town inquiring about a woman. When she is found dead, Sheriff McKay (Parks), at the suggestion of his friend Hotchkiss (Dan Duryea), organises a human hunting party, incorrectly thinking that Chamberlain is the culprit.
Chamberlain must cross the desert and reach the border. McKay gets there before him. Chamberlain comes across a homesteader (Baxter) and they start to develop a connection, but this is quickly cut short when the posse arrives.
