Brian Keith and his two companions arrive in a town to rob the bank. However during a gun fight he accidently kills Maureen O'Hara's son. She decides to bury him in Indian country where her husband is buried and the three men accompany her. This was Sam Pekinpah's first film as a director and he delivers a film that is more character driven than action and Maureen O'Hara gives a good performance as the feisty widow.
