ride lonesome (M25)

randolph scott picks up a criminal and heads to santa cruz to deliver him up for the bounty money. the criminal's brother- lee van cleef, has been sent for to catch up and stop the delivery. along for the ride are pernel roberts and james coburn, who want to deliver the criminal in exchange for amnesty. also along for the ride is a dish, who thinks she's going to meet her husband. but when indians come along offering to trade a horse for her, it's her husband's horse- proof that he's dead. the prisoner gets his hands on a gun, but is bluffed out of it. then it becomes clear that scott is not interested in the criminal, but in his brother, who killed his young wife, many years before. there is a shootout between scott and van cleef and van cleef dies. we assume there is going to be a shootout between scott and roberts to see who is going to get the bounty or amnesty, but once scott kills van cleef he hands the criminal over.
