The Lonely Road

Paroled killer Shad Billings returns after five years in prison, hoping to resume cattle ranching with his wife, Meg. While there have been false rumors linking Meg with Marshall Fry, Meg has actually been involved with a mine-guard from Tombstone named Trace Phelan. Fry urges Phelan to clear out but Phelan humiliates the unarmed Billings whom Fry then jails for his own protection. Then, instead of moving on as Fry hopes, Phelan vists the Billings homestead to kidnap Meg who now wants no part of him. Fry follows and guns down Phelan in a shoot-out. Billings and Meg are re-united.
