McCord worries that he may have the epilepsy that plagued his father and hastened his demise. He battles the sadistic gunman while hoping for a pardon from the sympathetic governor (Robert Ryan).

There are some parts of it that don't jive very well with the rest of it tonally, but in the overall scheme of things, it's an effective story with a nice style to match. The opening minutes are the best in my opinion and should hook you in.
