Summary
A respected U.S. senator returns to a frontier town for the funeral of an old friend and recounts to a newspaper editor the truth about how he made his name as a young lawyer years earlier, when the town was terrorized by the brutal outlaw Liberty Valance. The story weaves together his idealism, a tough rancher's quiet help, and the shooting that defined his career and the West's transition from lawlessness to civilization.
