Invitation to a Gunfighter

Hugh O'Brian is a gunfighter terrorizing a small western town. The townspeople finally pool their money to a hire another gunfighter (Gilbert Roland) to drive O'Brian out of town (which he does). But, if the townsfolk thought they had it bad when O'Brian ran the town, that was childsplay next to the reign of terror instituted when Roland takes over. Finally, they have to pool their money again, this time to hire O'Brian to get rid of Gilbert Roland. A wonderful dramatization of the old adage, ""Be careful what you ask for; you may get it.""
