Luke Slaughter of Tombstone - Yancy's Pride
Like a violent storm, or an earthquake, you can feel a lynching coming on long before it arrives. And there was lynch in the air that afternoon in Tombstone.
Thus begins this tale of a cattle rancher catching a rustler in the act and preparing to hang him after a kangaroo court. Luke, however, recognizes the rustler as one of his old army buddies from the civil war and pays restitution to the rancher.
When the rancher turns up dead, all fingers point back to the youthful Yancy. Luke begins to realize he really doesn't know the young man all that well.
