A Western adventure series
Starring Pete Duel as Smith and Ben Murphy as Jones
with guest stars Claudine Longet, Susan Oliver, Nico Minardos.

Smith and Jones are rounding up stray maverick cattle in Mexico for want of anything else legal to do. They are near to completing their objective when the feared bandit chief El Clavo enters the scene, armed to the teeth and not friendly at all. Then there's Michelle and when Blanche makes a foursome with El Clavo a surly fifth - it begins to get a bit too much.
