We continue our search for film locations for “The Relentless Four”. Lobo and Tracy lead Sam who is tied on his horse and begin the long ride back to town and to collect the reward for Sam’s capture. Along the way Sam manages to untie himself and while fighting Tracy, Lobo shoots and kills Tracy now he doesn’t have to share the reward money. Sam challenges Lobo to a man to man fight and defeats him. As he runs through the rocks he is trailed by Lobo but Garrett is stopped when he runs into the posse.
