Utah, 1898. A bunch of bounty hunters, lead by Klaus -Loco- Kinski, are hunting down a group of mormons who've been forced to become outlaws in order to survive the natural elements. Jean-Louis - Silence - Trintignant is hired by Vonetta McGee, whose husband has just been murdered by Kinski, to kill the blond killer.

One of the best spaghetti westerns ever shot. Masterpiece.
