High Noon's about Marshal Will Kane, (Gary Cooper,) who's recently married, and is about to turn his position over to his loyal deputy. However, as the song says, "the noonday train will bring Ben Miller..." Kane had sent Ben Miller, ('70s parodist Sheb Wooley,) to prison years before. There was a television sequel to it in 1980. with Lee Majors and Parnell Roberts in the roles made famous by Cooper and Wooley. So what happens? Kane is the man who sent Miller to prison, which one? We don't know. Let's assume that it's the Yuma Territorial Prison, in Arizona. Miller, at his trial, sat in the witness chair, and said he'd kill Kane. Nobody in town wants to be deputized to go after Miller. Kane's wife, Amy, threatens to leave him. Her friend, Katy Jurado, tries to talk some sense into her. What happens next? Meet me in the middle of the street at high noon, with your Colt drawn, and I'll tell you.
