About
A suspenseful Western that begins when a quiet, enigmatic stranger rides into Arborville in search of a local Indian. His questions unsettle the townsfolk, who claim the man has left, but as the stranger digs deeper, long-buried secrets unravel. The truth everyone has been hiding–including the stranger’s own identity–comes to light, exposing greed and deception in a seemingly peaceful town.
The film stars Jock Mahoney in the lead role, supported by Luana Patten, a former Disney Child star turned Western heroine, and Charles McGraw, known for his tough-guy roles in classic noir. The cast also features Barbara Lawrence, Claude Akins, and Lee Van Cleef, who would later become an icon of the Spaghetti Western genre. Their performances bring tension and intrigue to this story of justice and redemption on the rugged frontier.
