Fleeing to Dodge City after killing a man in self defense, Masterson finds his brother Ed (Harry Lauter) running for sheriff of the town. When Ed is killed by hired guns of the corrupt incumbent, Bat is determined to settle the score with violence, but he is convinced by the townspeople that the best way to avenge his brother's death is by taking Ed's place on the ballot. Bat agrees and wins the election, but his new role on the right side of the law will lead him to unexpected confrontations as he finds himself torn between his loyalties to his friends and his duties as sheriff.

A pretty good western about a man who becomes sheriff mainly because his brother, the original sheriff, was killed and justice needs to be served, as well as making the town finally orderly. Real men, outlaws, simply everything you expect from a western, not to mention there's quite a bit of shooting, although there's also plenty of talking.
