Rough Night in Jericho is a 1967 western film starring George Peppard, Dean Martin, and Jean Simmons, and directed by Arnold Laven. The supporting cast includes John McIntire and Slim Pickens. This is the only film where Dean Martin portrayed the villain.
A stagecoach bound for the town of Jericho is held up by a gang led by Alex Flood, a lawman gone bad. The stage's only passenger, a gambler named Dolan, is robbed and the driver, Ben Hickman, is shot.
Hickman and his companion, Molly Lang, own the stage line. Flood wants to seize control of that, as he has so many other properties in the vicinity. While the wounded Hickman recovers from the gunshot, Dolan takes a liking to Molly and decides to help her.
An ex-marshal himself, Dolan begins to create havoc in Flood's empire, stealing his cattle and causing explosions at Flood's ranch and gold mine. Flood comes to Jericho seeking revenge. He shoots Hickman in the back, killing him. Dolan sets out after Flood for a final showdown in the hills.
