Murphy heads a posse in pursuit of four killers, recently escaped from prison, who pillaged the small town of Paradise. The men killed several people, robbed a bank, and abducted the town's prettiest lass, Lampert, whom they all rape and leave to die. The original posse starts at seven but dwindles to three during the pursuit: Murphy, Lampert--who has been picked up on the trail--and Saxon, an easterner newly arrived in the rugged West. They catch up to the crooks, who prove no match for Murphy. Stunning photography, strong characterizations, and well-paced action keep the inconsistencies of the plot in the background. Van Cleef and Morrow offer interesting depictions of two of the murderous villains. This was the directorial debut for Coleman and western star Lane's last film. leave a comment
