La Colline des potences (1959)
Dans le Montana, à la fin du XIXe siècle. Joseph Frail est médecin de profession et joueur invétéré. Son adresse aux cartes lui fait gagner des fortunes dans le village de chercheurs d'or où il réside. Généreux, il recueille une jeune femme, Elizabeth, seule rescapée d'une attaque de diligence, dans laquelle elle a perdu la vue. Joseph la soigne, parvient à la guérir et en tombe secrètement amoureux. Une fois rétablie, Elizabeth, loin de suivre les conseils de Frail, qui la presse de quitter la région, achète une concession. Flanquée de deux associés, Rune et Frenchy, elle espère y trouver de l'or. Elizabeth travaille dur et mène une vie austère, jusqu'au jour où la chance lui sourit. Elle découvre un filon exceptionnel. Grisé, Frenchy tente de la violer. Mais Joseph intervient à temps et le tue...
