One-Eyed Jacks
Running from the law after a bank robbery in Mexico, Dad Longworth finds an opportunity to take the stolen gold and leave his partner Rio to be captured. Years later, Rio escapes from the prison where he has been since, and hunts down Dad for revenge. Dad is now a respectable sheriff in California, and has been living in fear of Rio's return.

Their flight doesn't quite go to plan though, and in need of fresh horses they are forced to separate. It's "Dad" who heads off in search of the stock but forgets to come back for his buddy who is apprehended by the pursing police. Five years later and "Rio" is intrigued by a proposition by "Amory" (Ben Johnson) that could net him quite a bit of cash…
