Clay McCord (Alex Cord) is a former outlaw determined to live the life of a law-abiding citizen. Colby (Arthur Kennedy) is the town marshall who keeps law and order. Not far from the peaceful town is a haven for criminals led by Kraut (Mario Brega), a trigger happy outlaw who welcomes those who are wanted by the law. McCord worries that he may have the epilepsy that plagued his father and hastened his demise. He battles the sadistic gunman while hoping for a pardon from the sympathetic governor (Robert Ryan). He also falls for the lovely Laurinda (Nicoletta Machiavelli) as he walks between the two worlds of the law and the lawless in this action-packed and often bloody western adventure.

==Comment==
===<i class="fa fa-map fa-xs"></i> Filming locations===
Unusual SW filled with melancholy and fatalism. The melancholy is intensified by Rustichelli's score, with a few nods towards Gustav Mahler. Franco Giraldi's best western is a turn back from his earlier lightweight works.
