Beaumont Butler Buell (Robert Vaughn) and his gang plan to steal $20,000 being carried by a man called Duncan. He was meant to ride on Luke Perry's stagecoach.
They take over a station stop but when Luke Perry arrives there is no Duncan. The stagecoach was for the exclusive use of Susan McLord who is eloping with her fiancé Lionel Chambers.
Buell is at a loss, his plans have gone awry. Unfortunately Susan and Lionel are as dumb as a sack of spuds. Instead of being quiet, they act like rich spoiled brats. Buell realises that Susan is the daughter of one of the richest cattle baron in America. They are going to hold her hostage for the ransom money.
Meanwhile Luke Perry remembers Buell as a fine soldier, now acting like a common criminal with his band of thugs. Luke knows that he and Susan need to escape as they will not leave them alive.
There was an interesting beginning with Vaughn and Warren Oates in the cast. It all becomes more formulaic, as Perry starts to pick off Buell's gang one by one. While the spoilt Susan becomes more useful and thaws a little.
Only I would have thought a more interestingly story would had been Susan's father sending the heavy brigade to deal with Buell.
