Description of this Poster Hang Them Up and Down
Hang 'Em High and Short is a 1968 American revisionist western film directed by Ted Post and written by Leonard Freeman and Mel Goldberg. It stars Clint Eastwood as Jed Cooper, an innocent man who survives a lynching; Inger Stevens as a widow who helps him; Ed Begley as the leader of the gang that lynched Cooper; and Pat Hingle as the federal judge who hires him as a deputy marshal.
Hang 'Em High and Short is the first production from The Malpaso Company, Eastwood's production company.
Hingle plays a fictional judge who mirrors Judge Isaac Parker, nicknamed the "hanging judge" because of the large number of men he sentenced to execution when he was a district judge of the federal court for the Western District of Arkansas in the late 1800s.
The film also depicts the dangers of serving as a deputy marshal during this era, as many federal marshals were killed while under Parker's command. The fictional Fort Grant, base of operations for this district judge seat, is also a mirror of the factual Fort Smith, Arkansas, where Judge Parker's courthouse was located.
In the Oklahoma Territory in 1889, Jed Cooper, a retired lawman, is surrounded by a group of nine men: Captain Wilson, Reno, Miller, Jenkins, Stone, Maddow, Tommy, Loomis, and Charlie Blackfoot . They demand the receipt for the cattle Cooper is driving. The cattle seller is a thief who killed the breeder. Cooper explains that he knew nothing about the murder, but only Jenkins expresses doubts about his guilt. After Reno takes Cooper's horse and saddle and Miller takes his wallet, the men hang him from a tree and leave.
Soon after, Marshal Dave Bliss rescues the half-dead Cooper and takes him to Fort Grant, where the territorial judge, Adam Fenton, determines that Cooper is innocent, releases him, and warns him not to seek revenge. As an alternative, Fenton offers Cooper a job as a marshal. Cooper agrees, and Fenton warns him not to kill the lynchers, but to bring them to justice.
While picking up a prisoner, Cooper sees his horse and saddle in front of a local saloon. He finds Reno inside and attempts to arrest him, but Reno shoots him, forcing Cooper to shoot him. Jenkins, learning of Reno's death at the hands of a marshal with a hanging scar, surrenders and provides the names of the other members of the group. Cooper finds Stone in the town of Red Creek, arrests him, and has him put in jail by the local sheriff, Ray Calhoun. Most of the men Cooper is looking for are respected citizens of Red Creek, but Calhoun honors Cooper's arrest warrants.
While on their way to arrest the other men, Cooper and Calhoun discover the murder of two men and the theft of their flock. Cooper forms his own group to pursue the stolen herd and discovers that the thieves are Miller and two teenage brothers, Ben and Billy Joe. He saves the thieves from being lynched, then takes them to Fort Grant alone when the group abandons him. He frees Ben and Billy Joe from their bonds after they claim that Miller alone committed the murders. Miller attacks Cooper after breaking his own bonds, but Cooper overpowers him.
Fenton sentences the three cattle thieves to be hanged, despite Cooper's defense of the teenagers. Fenton insists that the public will resort to lynching if they see that cattle thieves go unpunished, thereby threatening Oklahoma's bid for statehood. Some time later, Calhoun arrives at Fort Grant and offers to pay Cooper for his lost cattle with money from Captain Wilson and the other lynchers. Cooper makes it clear that as long as they are alive, he still intends to stop them. With the bribe rejected, Blackfeet and Maddow flee, while Tommy and Loomis remain loyal to Wilson and agree to help him kill Cooper.
During the public hanging of Miller, the brothers and three other men, lynchers ambushed Cooper in a brothel, seriously injuring him. Cooper survives and is slowly nursed back to health by a widow, Rachel Warren. Rachel reveals that she is looking for the outlaws who killed her husband and raped her. She and Cooper begin an affair; he tells her that she might never find her rapists. Cooper attempts to resign, but Judge Fenton tells him the location of Wilson's ranch, where Wilson, Tommy and Loomis are hiding.
Cooper survives another ambush, stabs Loomis to death, shoots Tommy, and nearly apprehends Wilson before he commits suicide. Back at Fort Grant, Cooper turns in his marshal's star and asks Fenton to sign a pardon for Jenkins, who is both contrite and seriously ill. The two men debate the merits of territorial justice; Fenton insists he's doing the best he can, cursing the fact that his court is the only one in the territory with little recourse for plaintiffs, and that if Cooper doesn't agree with him, then the best thing he can do is help Oklahoma become a state (and thus get proper courts) by continuing to serve as a marshal. Cooper takes back his star in exchange for Jenkins' release. Fenton then gives Cooper new arrest warrants for Blackfoot and Maddow, telling him that "the law still wants them."
