Summary

Ben helps ex-convict John Dundee re-adjust to society. However, Dundee's boorish attitude complicates matters, and it may have to do with his former business partners framing him for a crime he didn't commit.

Plot

Ex-con John Dundee is being released from prison and Ben tries to help his old friend readjust to society. John's only interest, however, is revenge on those who sent him to prison, namely, his ex-business partners Anders, Bartlett and Sangster. Worse, the bad three are friends with a corrupt lawman and are hatching a plan to send John back to prison, this time, for murder.
