Matty is supposed to move a suitcase containing half a million dollars from a small town to New York City . Matty's friend Marbles loses the suitcase during the execution when he has to land in a small town by plane to refuel and the suitcase goes missing out of panic in front of the local police. Demaret is looking for the money, the sons of veteran mafiosi Chris Scarpa, Johnny Marbles and Taylor Reese help him.
The local sheriff Decker wants to take over the money. Matty's uncle Teddy Deserve travels to Montana on the pretext of helping the four young mafiosi with difficulties. However, he wants to keep the money to himself. He promises Matty that nothing would happen to Marbles, which he does not keep, because he sends two of his assistants to the bar, where they are supposed to track down Marbles and Scarpa in order to finally kill them. Since Scarpa preferred to disappear, they only find Marbles, go with him behind the bar and then shoot him. Demaret and Reese meet with Teddy, the sheriff, and his assistant. There is a shootout. Chris Scarpa, who has now decided to stay, comes to the aid of his buddies. But both he and the sheriff and his accomplice die. Taylor Reese is shot and incapacitated. Teddy and Matty threaten each other with pistols and start arguing. Teddy turns his back on Matty and pretends to just leave. However, he pulls out his gun with a jerky movement and tries to shoot Matty. However, this one is faster and kills Teddy. Matty and Taylor take the money and leave. Matty brings his father the money and announces that he is no longer interested in a career in the Mafia organization. After Taylor had his wounds treated, he and Matty get into a car and drive away.

Reviews
Michael O'Sullivan wrote in the Washington Post of 11 October 2002, the movie leg hold stereotypes and " a senseless, bullet-charged climax " ( " mindless, bullet-fueled climax "); ethical content would be lacking. He can only please people who do not understand the difference between the good, the bad and the ugly.
David Rooney wrote in Variety magazine on November 29, 2001 that the film was " well constructed " and had features of Quentin Tarantino's films . His “ sharp dialogues ”, charismatic actors and “ eccentric humor ” would please the young male audience.
