The Iron Sheriff

When his son Benjie is accused of killing a stagecoach driver, Sheriff Sam Galt (Sterling Hayden) is convinced his boy is innocent. On a quest to clear his son's name, Galt spares no expense in hiring lawyers. While Galt's position as town sheriff raises suspicions of police misconduct, he makes it clear he won't stand in the way of the law. But that certainty is thrown into doubt when Galt goes on a search for the real murderer -- and makes a startling discovery.
