High Lonesome (1950)

The residents of an isolated cattle ranch have their quiet and peaceful lives turned upside down when a young drifter is found on their property in the dead of night. The boy claims a local merchant stole money from him and so, with the help of two strangers, he killed the alleged thief. A mysterious and unsettling drama unfolds as, upon describing his accomplices, the locals realise he's talking about two men they know…but who died 15 years ago. Did the young man really carry out the crime or can the ghosts of two dead cowboys be guilty of murder?
