Description of this Poster Hang Them Up and Down
Hang 'em High and Short is a western by Ted Post released in 1968, with Clint Eastwood in the lead role. The film was released in German cinemas on December 18, 1968.
Oklahoma, 1889. Former sheriff Jedediah (Jed) Cooper has purchased cattle from a small rancher and travels the prairie with them. Suddenly, nine men accompanied by a leader named "Captain Wilson" appear and ask Cooper to show them the cattle purchase contract. The contract is only signed with a cross, but the men know that the rancher knows how to write and that he has always signed his name. Cooper's description of the ranchers doesn't add up either. Since one of the men happened to be at the ranch and found the ranchman and his wife shot to death, the men believe that Cooper murdered the couple and stole the cattle. But instead of letting justice take care of the case, they hang him from the nearest tree and disappear.
Shortly afterward, Marshal Dave Bliss appears, en route with a prisoner transport. He saves Cooper from his predicament, but arrests him and presents him to Judge Adam Fenton, who is said to have preferred to see all offenders hanged to the gallows. Fortunately, the rancher couple's murderer has already been arrested and the judge and Cooper watch his execution from the window. The murderer made Cooper believe he was the rancher and sold him the cattle. Cooper, now back on the loose, wants the nine men who hanged him to be punished fairly. The judge is informed that Cooper was sheriff in St. Louis and offers him the position of marshal. Cooper accepts and now wears a marshal's star. He can thus hunt the nine men as a well-paid representative of the law.
While Cooper has to pick up a prisoner from a sheriff's office, he comes across one of the nine men. When he defends himself with his gun against arrest, Cooper shoots him in self-defense. Meanwhile, at the judge's office, one of the nine men turned himself in and gave the names of the others. He had also opposed Cooper's hanging. Cooper then goes to where the other seven men are supposed to be, armed with arrest warrants. He arrests one of them, the blacksmith Stone, and has him locked up at the local sheriff's house.
Reluctantly, the sheriff accompanies Cooper in search of the other men when along the way, a farmer asks them for help. The farmer had his cattle stolen and his father and brother were murdered. Due to back pain, the sheriff refuses to continue and Cooper sets off with the farmer and his men in search of the three murderers, who are eventually found. One of the three, Miller, is another of the nine men. The other two, two still very young brothers whom Miller apparently convinced to commit the act, claim that they certainly participated in the theft of the cattle, but not in the murder.
The farmer and his men immediately want to hang all three of them. Cooper prevents the lynching and insists that they be put on trial. As no one wants to accompany him, he takes the risk of taking the three men to the prison alone. Miller manages to free himself from his bonds during a rest stop and attempts to subdue Cooper. The two unattached brothers observe the duel without intervening or taking advantage of the situation to escape. Cooper overpowers Miller and ties him onto the horse. After a long ride, Cooper collapses, exhausted, shortly before court, falls from his horse and falls directly into the arms of the judge, who has already been informed by telegram and has come to meet Cooper on the road. The judge takes Cooper to the local brothel, where the ladies make sure he gets back on his feet. The conviction of the three culprits spread like an exploit.
The sheriff, reluctant to do his job, comes to Cooper and tells him that he had to shoot Stone, the imprisoned blacksmith. He had let him out of his cell during the day so he could go about his business at the forge, then had to go find him when one evening he did not return to his cell willingly. He should have shot him to prevent an escape attempt and would have fatally hit him. Additionally, the sheriff gives Cooper $800 that he received from Captain Wilson, the amount Cooper paid for the cattle. The captain would have wanted Cooper to stop hunting him and his men. Cooper accepts the money, but declares that he is only even with his men financially. The sheriff retraces his steps and informs Captain Wilson, who then sets out with two of his men to kill Cooper. The rest of his men fled in fear of Cooper.
The three men Cooper saved from lynching go on trial. Cooper defends the two brothers as witnesses, because he is convinced that they only participated in the cattle rustling. But the judge ignored his comments, accused him of contempt of court, fined him $30 and threatened to imprison him for 30 days if he did not keep his words in check. Finally, all three were sentenced to death and hanged with three other condemned men in front of a large number of onlookers. Cooper, who does not want to attend the spectacle, meanwhile retreats to the brothel with one of the ladies. He begins to wonder if the judge's procedure can still be considered fair.
In the brothel, Cooper is attacked by Captain Wilson and his assistants, who shoot him. Rachel Warren, a widow, devotedly cares for Cooper. During an excursion to the countryside, she reveals to Cooper why she watches each new prisoner. She and her husband were attacked by two men who killed her husband and raped her. If one day these men were arrested, she would like to witness their execution.
Cooper finds Captain Wilson and the other members of his team. He kills them during the battle, after which Wilson hangs himself in fear. Cooper wants to resign as marshal to the judge, but after being rightly accused of using the marshal's star for personal revenge, and after pardoning one of the men, now old and sick, who is returned voluntarily, Cooper agrees to take back the star. During the discussion, the judge admits to sometimes being overwhelmed by events and making mistakes; but this would be due to the lack of state institutions and courts of appeal in the state being formed. Cooper hangs the marshal star on his chest again and heads to his next tasks.
