Summary
A crimson dusk bleeds across the alkali flats when the laconic gunslinger Drag Harlan—part avenging wraith, part gold-hungry pilgrim—kneels beside a stranger whose lungs gurgle farewell. From that sanguine hush a map is bequeathed: not parchment but memory, a vein of ore glowing like original sin beneath the chaparral. Harlan’s quest detours through canyons of obsession toward a vanished heiress whose photograph flickers in his pocket like a secular relic; every hoof-beat closer to her rewrites the cowboy’s own silhouette, trading predator for protector in the flick of a rattlesnake’s tail. Yet the same slugs that opened the old man now ricochet in pursuit, flung by a syndicate of dandified buzzards who wear city suits over prairie vultures’ hearts. Gold, girl, and ghosts converge in a boom-town cathedral of greed where chandeliers are made of whiskey bottles and confessionals are lined with poker chips. When love finally plants its flag, it does so atop a powder-magazine—one sunrise away from either covenant or crater.
Synopsis
William Farnum is Drag Harlan, a tough cowboy vigilante. After learning about a gold mine from a dying man, he seeks his daughter (Jackie Saunders) as well as the gold. He falls in love with her, but the same gang that shot the old man is after the gold.
