"We kill the Marshal - and we start with the ladies in his life." Marshal Will Montgomery is a man with a passion for law and justice. He loves his wife and daughter and he loves his town. As their partner hangs from a rope in the town square, Lucas Harlow and Munk Sullivan make their decision. "We kill the Mashal - and start with the ladies in his life." In a violent attack they rape his wife and kill her with a large knife plunged into her chest. His daughter strangled and her neck broken, they head for Mexico knowing that their only hope for real freedom is to kill Montgomery. Graveside, Marshal Will Montgomery, one knee in the dirt and tears in his eyes, whispers a promise, "I will bring them back alive to stand before the judge. I will never give up as long as I have life."
