INFORMATION FROM IMDb
Plot Summary
Harry's bride is murdered at their wedding along with Harry's mother and father,
and the good-hearted outlaw turns grimly malevolent.
He leaves town, only to return one year later.
One by one he stalks his wife's killers, dispatching them all until
he finally sets his sights, mistakenly, on Sheriff Gale Thurman.
The lawman bests Harry and keeps him hiding outside town in the wilderness.
Straying into the same wilderness, the Sheriff's girlfriend is first overtaken by highwaymen,
then rescued by Harry, only to be taken captive by Harry when he realizes who she is.
At first threatening to harm the girl, Harry slowly falls in love with her,
all while hostile Apaches attempt to kill them both. By the time the Sheriff tracks them down,
a full-scale assault is under way, and the two men join forces.
Harry realizes the Sheriff's innocence, but it is too late:
the lawman is dead from his battle wounds, but he has saved his girlfriend - and Harry.
