So the stern, unbending Maddox goes there to arrest the missing men, a task that proves much harder than he expected, thanks to his rude and arrogant manner. The residents quickly view him as an enemy, and demand that he leave. As a result, town boss Vincent Bronson (whom the fugitives work for) sends one henchman after another to kill Maddox. Will the lawman's stubborness -- and extreme dedication to justice -- result in his death? [More]
