In his first American-made western, Clint Eastwood indelibly carves his niche as the quintessential tough guy: cool-headed, iron-willed, and unrelenting in his pursuit of revenge.
Oklahoma, 1873. Jed Cooper (Eastwood), mistaken for a rustler and killer, is lynched on the spot by crooked lawman Captain Wilson (Ed Begley) and a rampaging band of vigilantes. But as Wilson and his gang flee the scene, there's one very important detail they've overlooked: Cooper is still alive! Out for justice and vengeance, Cooper takes on the job of deputy marshal...and, one by one, tracks down the nine men who "done him wrong".
