The Drifter
High Plains Drifter
A mysterious stranger materializes out of the desert heat, riding into the small town of Lago. Desperately
seeking help against three recently released prisoners, the town's leaders cautiously approach the Drifter
and plead with him to save their town from the criminals who brutally murdered the town sheriff. Sheriff Jim
Duncan had stumbled on the secret that the town mine - the Lago Mining Co. and the chief reason for the
town's existence - was on Government property, and he knew that Government officials would have closed down
the mine if the secret had got out. Three hired killers publicly whipped Jim Duncan to death in order to keep
him silent while the town folk stood by and did nothing.
The Drifter agrees to help them, while turning the town upside down in the process as he manages to turn the
tables on the arrangement and publicly humiliates the townspeople.
He shows the town its true colours - in this case, hellish, nightmarish red - before riding out of town.
