Powerful
Great Film overall
It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
A gang of ruthless thugs try to run off all the homesteaders in their area. While attempting to thwart their plans, Rocky and Nugget come under fire from the ruffians while trapped in a stagecoach depot. The gang leader is also inside the building along with a coach full of passengers, and Lane must figure out his identity in order to call in the cavalry and foil his nefarious scheme.
