action

The actually peaceful town of Rio Placido is haunted one day by a gang of outlaws who have learned of a gold mine in the vicinity and are now doing everything possible to get the good residents of the place to leave by means of harassment and threats, violence and terror. However, these employ the famous horrors of Oklahoma for their defense and to fight the bandits. Clay Norton's courage, however, is in stark contrast to his fame; The hoped-for support from the fearful local sheriff is also omitted. Clay can only drive away the bandits and restore calm in Rio Placido with the help of a Quaker family that has thrown the principle of non-violence overboard.
