They riddled him with bullets. They strung him up. They left him to die. But they made two fatal mistakes: they hanged the wrong man ... and they didn't finish the job. 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."
