Death of a Gunfighter (1969)
Marshal Frank Patch, die al meer dan 20 jaar waakt over de veiligheid in Cottonwood Springs, wordt door twee jonge zakenlieden niet meer erg serieus genomen. Ze willen, dat er vers bloed in het kantoor van de marshal komt. Wanneer Patch uit zelfverdediging de dronken Luke Mills neerschiet, grijpen beide zakenlieden deze gelegenheid aan om Patch weg te krijgen en ze zoeken steun bij Andrew Oxley, uitgever van de lokale krant. Patch weigert echter zijn functie neer te leggen en uit Cottonwood Springs te vertrekken. Ook legt Patch het advies van zijn oude kameraad Lou Trinidad naast zich neer om te vertrekken na de dood van Andrew Oxley en de doodsbedreigingen door diens zoon Will Oxley. Patch trouwt zelfs met Claire Quintana, de eigenaresse van een bordeel en een saloon. Maar dan verschijnt op de bruiloft Will Oxley…
