What happens

Decision at Sundown is a 1957 American Western film directed by Budd Boetticher and starring Randolph Scott. It is one of seven Boetticher/Scott western collaborations, including Seven Men from Now, The Tall T, Buchanan Rides Alone, Westbound, Ride Lonesome, and Comanche Station. Boetticher said this film and Westbound were the only mediocre films he made as part of the Ranown cycle. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
