Before a peace can be brokered, his father is hit by a stray bullet from Jed Colby. Instead of taking justice into his own hands, Mark turns Jed over to the law. Jed Colby is released from prison fifteen years later intent on exterminating the Hayden bloodline - to the last man.

Director Henry Hathway immediately recognized Shirley's talent and recommended Paramount sign her to a contract. They refused, leaving Temple to become a big star at 20th Century Fox. Dating as it does from the pre-Code era, \u003ci\u003eTo The Last Man\u003c\/i\u003e has moments that will surely shock modern-day viewers, including some gruesome deaths, and a lengthy scene of Esther Ralston skinny-dipping! In his book \u003ci\u003eThe Hollywood Western\u003c\/i\u003e, film historian William K.
