To rid themselves of the gang led by Bill Anderson, the citizens of Springfield, Missouri hire a Pinkerton agent, Daniel who, by a strange circumstance, is associated with a former captain in the Northern armies, Allan. He and Daniel after they manage to kill Corbett the protector of the bandits, are put on the trail of Bill Anderson who is headed to Oregon. Meanwhile along the way Bill and his men after killing a group of Mormons, wear their clothes in order to take possession of a farm, but Daniel and Allan, are able to track them down and exposed them for who they really are. By a misconception, Kid, the brother of Allan is killed by Daniel. The kid brother was part of the band of Anderson, and this marks the end of the friendship between the two men.

  1. Jesús Puente is not playing Lucy Corbett (at least in the version under review I saw:-)), but Dianik Zurakowska does so. Puente is her father, the mayor, I think.

  2. Right you are Fatman. I somehow scrambled those two credits into one. Correction noted and changed.
