Above the Law

Overview

Hired gun Jab Harlan orchestrates an escape for outlaw Brad Scanlon so he can trail him and clear an innocent man of Scanlon's crime. In the process he tangles with Reese, foiling a capture attempt which brings him to Parmalee's attention. Scanlon, helped by his wife Lilah, pretends to be dead and soon is as he is ambushed by his partners to keep him quiet. Reese and Jab indulge in a little cat and mouse with each other after Scanlon's death. Reese, not knowing Scanlon's dead, locks Jab up until he can capture the outlaw. Jab sends Reese in the wrong direction and then picks the lock. Jab and Lilah ride out to the Garrett ranch to catch the rest of the gang. Reese returns to town and finds a note at the undertakers from Jab telling him to come to the ranch. He does and gets there just in time to help Jab in a gunfight with the outlaws and recover the money. Despite their disagreements Jab and Reese part friends.
