Plot
George Kelby Jr. (Glenn Ford), son of a notorious "fast gun", moves to the quiet town of Cross Creek with his wife, Dora (Jeanne Crain), under assumed identities. Now known as George Temple, he runs a general store and leads a life of routine and anonymity, portraying himself as a mild-mannered, unarmed shopkeeper. He told Dora that he discarded his gun long ago, but unbeknownst to Dora, he secretly practices his shooting skills. Now, Cross Creek is the Old West, where menfolk admire men who are cattlemen or farmers; men who can work with their hands; and, yes, men who carry guns and know how to use them. Here, unassuming George will confront his own devils.
