A stagecoach with a mixed group of passenger en route to the town of Fury makes a stop at a layover. Upon arrival the passengers are held up by Lorenzo Garcia (Rodolfo Hoyos Jr.) and his gang of bandidos capture and disarm the passengers, shooting one when he stops to raise his fallen trousers when he puts his hands up. The two staff of the coaching stop are missing presumed murdered. Garcia questions former Army captain Frank Townsend (Forrest Tucker), now riding shotgun on the stagecoach on the location of the Federal Government gold shipment they expected to be carried by the stagecoach.
Forest Tucker heads the cast in this neat little B-western that has some unusual flourishes with its flashbacks. A group of passengers are held hostage by some bandidos until the gold arrives at the relay station. During the course of the film we get flashbacks of three passengers, giving us an insight into their flawed characters and two of them are not any worse than the bandits holding them. Matter of fact, the gunslinger gets tricked during a countdown to a showdown with a bandit just like how he had shot the sheriff (seen in the flashback)without warning. Mari Blanchard's character uses her hotness to get people do things for her, even murder, but when she tries to use that skill on a bandit in order to get away she gets her up-commence. Some good action rounds up a solid little B-western. It's a pity Forest Tucker didn't do more leading roles in westerns. He does so well.
