Cole dringt immer wieder gewaltsam in Collies Leben ein. Doch er rechnet nicht mit Wayland, der sich in die junge Frau verliebt hat. In einer eiskalten Winternacht kommt es zum Kampf zwischen den beiden Männern. Wenig später wird Cole tot aufgefunden. Ist Wayland der Mörder? Alle Spuren deuten daraufhin, und die Campbells rüsten zum Rachefeldzug.

Gregory Peck, a grizzled old Scottish bandit operating in the American West, teams up with a young "half-breed" (Desi Arnaz, Jr.) to commit a robbery. Things go badly: the haul nets them only $420 and they accidentally killed a citizen. Arnaz is captured, and Peck, rescuing him, is severely wounded in the leg. Now they are on the run. Peck and Arnaz meet a rancher and his young wife, and pay the rancher to haul Peck to a doctor in his wagon--four days away. Left alone, Arnaz and the rancher's wife are the inevitable victims of the "birds and the bees," an idyll interrupted by a racist sheriff (Jack Warden) who has been after Arnaz. A final deadly confrontation will involve the sheriff, the rancher, Peck and a murderous band of Indian renegades. Ted Kotcheff directed this first Western shot in Israel.
