When old-timer Luke Burris is beaten half to death just outside Dodge City, his son Jess begs Marshal Matt Dillon to arrest the man responsible. But Luke wants no part of it. A frontiersman to his bones, he settled his own scores long before there was any law to call on, and he isn’t about to start relying on one now. As Dillon tries to reason with a man who trusts nothing but his own two hands, the real question isn’t whether Luke can protect himself – it’s what his stubborn code might end up costing the son standing right beside him.
