AbstractHistoryArchive Description

When a local housewife is found murdered, suspicion centres on a Polish immigrant, despite the lack of any evidence to connect him to the crime. The men of the town mount a search into the surrounding hills after the fleeing man. The posse includes the local sergeant, desperate to restore his reputation after his negligence led to the deaths of two youths, and misfit Rabbit, who doubts the man's guilt but is urged into the pursuit by his wife.
