The Stranger

THE BADGE
To a violent land, a frontier yet untamed, came a man who wore a badge of law and order. He faced the myriad dangers and paid the price in blood to become one of the most enduring heroic figures of the Old West.

THE STRANGER
When Denzel Murdoch was sent to the gallows for strangling a young woman, he shouted that he was innocent and vowed he would come back from the grave and take revenge on the judge, the six jurors and the marshal and deputy who had arrested him. And now it's happening -- Green River's marshal is discovered in a freshly dug grave with the initials D. M. carved on his brow -- and there are more deaths to follow. The townspeople are terrified. They can only turn to the man they call John Stranger -- a mysterious drifter they found in the Green River cemetery after a shoot-out that left three bank robbers dead -- a man who can't remember his own identity after being grazed by one of the robbers' bullets. All people know about him is that he's faster with a gun than anyone they've ever seen before -- and that's enough.
