A Man Alone
Somewhere in the DARK a Bullet Drilled Home !
Directed by Ray Milland
Produced by Republic Pictures
A classic Western noir about a wrongly accused gunfighter on the run, hiding in the home of a sheriff's daughter while evading false murder charges.
A gunfighter, stranded in the desert, comes across the aftermath of a stage robbery, in which all the passengers were killed. He takes one of the horses to ride to town to report the massacre, but finds himself accused of it. He also finds himself accused of the murder of the local banker, and winds up hiding in the basement of a house where the local sheriff, who is very sick, lives with his daughter.
