A gang of bad men arrives at the home of former lawman Will Stevens. Seems Stevens once gunned down the father of Lee Horn (Geoff Meed), leader of the gang.
So while Stevens, mortally wounded, lies watching, Horn has both of his young sons shot. Then he and his men take turns raping his wife, Selina (Sage Mears).
When they’re finished, he orders one of his men to kill Selina. The man fires a shot into the air instead.
That means everyone knows who committed the killings, of course, and bounty hunter Frank Allison (Barry Van Dyke) decides to make the Horn gang his next prey.
Turns out he doesn’t have to go far.
Upon learning that Selina is still alive, Horn turns his gang around and heads back to Bisbee to finish the job.
In the meantime, Selina decides this mysterious stranger / bounty hunter should teach her to shoot so she can get her own revenge.

Review:
Sorta a low-budget Hannie Caulder meets Clint Eastwood that could have benefitted from better performances in the lead roles of Frank Allison and Selina Stevens.
The scene early in the film when the Horn gang visits the Stevens home will certainly grab your attention. Unfortunately, the film never again matches that level of intensity.
Still, it’s better than many 21st century low-budget Westerns. If you don’t stop to ask why the outlaws would turn around to kill the lone survivor of a massacre when everyone already knows they’re responsible for the crime.

Memorable lines:
Frank Allison, after gunning down an outlaw he’s caught bedding a saloon girl in a jail cell: “Now I don’t much like whores. So you’re going to be quiet. Understand? Else you’ll end up just like him.”
Saloon girl Vilma, as Allison locks the jail cell: “What are you doing?”
Frank: “I’ll be back in a while. Unless you make a racket. Then I’ll be back soon.”
Frank Allison, showing Selina how to shoot: “Arch your elbow, but don’t bend it too much either. It’ll kick back and hit you right in the face. Knew a fellow broke his nose once like that in a gunfight. Made a mess.”
