Plot

Lee Barton (Richard Harrison) rides into Rainbow Valley. A stranger in town, he is mistaken for Ward Cluster, a former resident believed to have been killed in the Civil War. When the residents mistake him for Cluster, they think he has come to get even with the Cherry brothers who are responsible for the death of his wife. Even Cluster's young son Sean (Loris Loddi), who has been raised by an Indian chief named Gray Bear, believes Barton is his father.

The worst of the three Cherry brothers, Tom Cherry (Gerard Tichy) is involved with various dealings with the Mexican army. He has a love interest in local townswoman Deborah (Eleonora Bianchi). Although Deborah is married to Ive, a local drunk, she has a dubious reputation.

Tom Cherry is searching for $100,000 that was hidden by a Mexican general. At one point, he captures and whips Barton. Eventually, Tom kills both Deborah and Ive.

Barton joins forces with a wandering sheriff from Tucson and ultimately kills Tom in a shoot-out. Barton finds the hidden money and plans a future with Sean.
