Yet another of my revenge-soaked Clint Eastwood movies. This time, he plays a mysterious Preacher who helps a bunch of gold miners keep their claims against a huge mining outfit led by C.K. Lahood (Richard Dysart). Lahood's hoods (ha! I kill me) have been raiding through their camp, killing livestock, and harassing the miners in town to try to drive them away but after Preacher shows up and whips some ass, things calm down.Lahood calls in a corrupt Marshal named Stockburn (John Russell) and his six deputies to dispatch the troublesome man of God.
This movie is awesome because it doesn't have to tell you anything about Preacher's past. He's just a drifter, an answer to a young girl's prayer after her dog is killed during the raid. He is a man who believes in hard work, community, and a good length of hickory. You just can't beat that.
