| User ReviewOrlok WThursday, November 1, 2012 (1956) Tension At Table Rock WESTERN Two bounty hunters in a log cabin are at split ends with one another resulting to one of them attempting to shoot the other one on the back and it was because of his selfish girlfriend lusting after his partner behind his back. And he was shot in self defense, but the only witness that was present says otherwise since she despised him for not falling for her advances. He gives himself up and while in jail he gets released because of a full pardon, he collects the money for the bounty when it should've been divided with his partner and upon going to a saloon, he gets mocked by several gunmen for shooting his partner in the back. It is soon revealed to the viewers that the person he shot happends to be a well known professional gunfighter and that as a result of him being killed created a popular song about how the star shot his partner and best friend in cold blood when it was clearly in self defense. He gets provoked by this while drinking in a saloon and after losing to some fisticuffs with him against 3 to 5 men, he then leaves the town and goes somewhere else. And while riding he comes across an almost abandoned area consisting of a barn and wooden house. He's then offered a job working there by a crippled man who happends to have a 12 year old son, it is soon revealed that it is only a stopping point when stagecoaches pass by before going somewhere else.
