Ox-Bow Incident

Synopsis: Western crime drama. As two drifters are passing through a Western town, news arrives that a local farmer has been murdered and his cattle stolen. The drifters quickly join the townspeople in forming a posse to catch the perpetrators, mainly to avoid being accused of the crime themselves.
