Day of the Evil Gun
They had one enemy even more deadly than the Apaches... each other!
Directed by Jerry Thorpe
Produced by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer
A Western revenge tale shadowed by moral conflict, where a reformed gunslinger must reclaim his gun and his family while navigating betrayal and the violence he sought to escape.
Returning home after disappearing three years ago, former gunslinger Lorn Warfield finds that an Apache raiding party has kidnapped his wife and children. Though he has renounced violence, he now takes up his gun and joins forces with his neighbor, Owen Forbes. Complicating matters, Forbes is engaged to Warfield's wife, who believed her husband was dead. As they pursue the Apaches, the two men are joined by an Indian trader, Jimmy Noble.
