The Ranown Westerns scripted by Burt Kennedy tend to center on the journey. Charles Lang’s contributions to the cycle begin at the terminus. Bent on revenge, Bart Allison (Scott) rides into Sundown on the wedding day of the man he’s been hunting. Not inclined to stand on ceremony (although he shaves first), Allison disrupts the service triggering a stand-off that draws the entire town into the conflict.
