Synopsis

Mike Sturges, his brother Roy, and a ranch foreman named Bobcat, go after the horse thieves who have stolen their entire herd. Instead, they are double-crossed and thrown in Yuma Prison where his brother dies. Mike escapes from jail, and is hell-bent with vengeance.

Comment

Muscleman actor Steve Reeves, who was one of the big stars of the Italian peplums a few years earlier, can be seen here in his only SW appearance. He also co-wrote the screenplay, which obviously wasn't one of his strengths. The fact that it was based on a novel (rare for SWs) isn't visible in the final film. Routine stuff through and through.
