He Rides Tall Page #2

Synopsis: It's the last day on the job for Marshal Morg Rocklin who plans to get married. The new Marshal is due in town the next day. Unfortunately, a bunch of troublemakers are in town. Among them is rancher Joshua McCloud's no-good son who's bringing in a herd of cattle for sale. Immature, spoiled and quick tempered, the McCloud boy gets into an argument with his cowhands in the saloon and shoots one dead. The Marshal tries to arrest McCloud's son who draws on the lawman and gets killed. Postponing his wedding, the Marshal rides out to break the sad news to old rancher McCloud who has recently taken a young gold-digger wife. The old man drinks too much lately. The Marshal fears the worst for his meeting with the old rancher who doesn't yet know that his son was killed. To make matters worse, Bart Thorne, the McClouds' head ranch boss hates the Marshal and wants him dead.

fault it's one way to do it there's

another way

maura that new marshal beer lady mantle

another way out come or you gotta choose

one way or the other unless you want to

ride out and tell old Josh yourself

tell the man who raised you that you

killed his son it's better if he hears

it for me

better for you or for me and if his

answer is to kill you

like running away what kind of a man
