Synopsis
Judge Roy Bean, "The Law West of Pecos," has decreed Orin Powers must hang for shooting up a poster of his beloved Lily Langtry, the famed frontier actress. The sentence has the town of Langtry, Texas, in a stew. Bad men want Orin to swing. Good citizens want him to live. Only one thing will save the unfortunate lad from the gallows—the appearance of Lily herself. What happens when the dazzling and glamorous "toast of two continents" meets the grizzled old "Bean" constitutes the fun, romance and drama that make up the legend.
