在这部金沙镇犯罪/西部片中,一群武装强盗抢劫银行失手后逃入沙漠，因为缺水而濒临绝境，绝望之时被一名老采金者与他的孙女救下，匪首Stretch（格里高利）被老采金者孙女(安妮·巴克斯特)迷住。派克在片中扮演劫匪头子，影片有着一流的情节。绝美的黑白摄影也为影片增色不少。
A band of bank robbers on the run from a posse flee into the desert. Near death from lack of water they stumble into what appears to be a ghost town, only to discover an old prospector and his granddaughter living there. The robbers discover that the old man has been mining gold and set out to make a quick fortune by robbing the pair. Their plan runs foul when the gang leader, Stretch, falls for the granddaughter, which sets off a showdown between the entire gang.
