When hanging judge Isaac Parker sends Hart and his partner, Twojack Roth, to break up Priest's infamous gang, Los Pistoleros, he is only too willing to fulfill his duty. With the price on Priest's head rising, gunmen from the East and the West alike come forward, rifles in their hands and dollar signs in their eyes. Hart and Roth need all the help they can get to catch Priest and his crew, who've stolen a million dollars-and taken a pretty hostage.
