Glenn Ford stars as a former gunman and convict who's trying to find a new life on the Western frontier as a man of God. But with temptation and violence at every turn, can a former sinner find his way into Heaven with a Gun? Jim Killian (Ford--The Courtship of Eddie's Father, Pocketful of Miracles) quickly learns that his new parish stands at the center of a range war--and that he has become the object of the town's madam's (Carolyn Jones--The Bachelor Party, The Seven Year Itch) eye. But when the daughter of a murdered Indian (Barbara Hershey--Beaches, Hoosiers) begs Killian for help, and Killian watches gunmen attack his parishioners, will he resort to violence to protect the innocent?
