Summary

A veteran gunfighter, Jack Beauregard (Henry Fonda) sets out to board a ship to New Orleans with the hope of enjoying a peaceful retirement. But his plans were cut short after he was ambushed by three gunmen. He shot all three of them in very quick succession. After finding his dying friend, he moved to a particular Nevada village where he met a bum named Nobody.

Nobody happens to be an admirer of Beauregard due to his remarkable feats as a gunman. Nobody, who was initially hired to kill Beauregard soon became his very close friend. He later persuaded Beauregard not to retire except he “makes his name in the history books”. An action that later led to the veteran facing 150 gunmen single-handedly.
