Synopsis

John "The Comet" Dickering sees his brother Bob being kidnapped by a couple of Big Boy Malone's men and flies to his aid, but is shot and killed in the process. Bob swears revenge and becomes The Hangman. When Chugger is found not guilty because John Dickering isn't alive to testify against him, the Hangman hustles Chugger out of the courtroom and subjects him to his own methods of extracting a confession, all leading to the execution of Big Boy Malone.
