Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Mitch Barrett becomes embittered because his wife is allowed to die when he can't pay for the medicine she needs. The remorseful townspeople hire Mitch to be a deputy sheriff, thereby enabling him to plot an elaborate bank robbery with the help of an artist, a pickpocket, a gunslinger and a bar-girl. In conjunction with the robbery, Mitch plans to avenge himself upon every man who hindered his purchase of a single bottle of medicine costing one dollar and eighty seven cents so many years ago.

Dr. Seltzer:
All the way from Atlanta, she said. They were burned out in the war. The two of them - shoulda been three - wanted to start a new life. They came all the way west... here... to us, my hospitable friends. That's a long way to come just to lay down and die. See more » |
