Plot
Variety noted that the plot had only minor changes from the original film. After having served in the small town of Hadleyville as marshall for years, Will Kane has just married Amy. As his wife has religious objections to violence and guns, Kane has decided to retire to be a farmer.
However, Kane learns that the murder Frank Miller has been pardoned and will arrive on the noon train. Miller's gang has already assembled at the station, and Miller had sworn revenge on Hadleyville and Kane as Miller had been condemned to death by Kane's actions and the trial held in the town years earlier.
Kane attempts to assemble a posse, but most of the towns people are unwilling to fight. Those few who are willing are either too young or prevented from doing so due to medical issues. The people of the town are concerned about their town's reputation, some resent Kane for cleaning up the town, and some feel a posse is not their responsibility.
The town judge flees and urges Miller to do the same. Kane fights off Miller and his gang. Amy, who had threatened to leave on the noon train with or without Kane returns to help. Kane is successful in defeating Miller in a shootout. After Miller's death, the town people come out to congratulate and thank Kane. He throws his badge in the dirt and rides out of town with Amy.
