Lee Van Cleef plays a Catholic priest in a small Texas town. He has settled there after his wild younger days. A young boy, Johnny, played by Leif Garrett, helps out with daily chores and ringing the bell to call parishioners to mass. One day the Clanton gang comes to town. Their leader is played by Jack Palance. The gang attempts to take over the town. The priest attempts to reason with them and to convince them to leave. He is killed for his efforts. Johnny remembers the priest talking about his brother, a former gunfighter, who is hiding out in Mexico. Johnny, who is about 12, goes out alone to find the brother. He wants to bring him back to Texas to avenge his brother and to save their town from the outlaws. The brother is also played by Lee Van Cleef.
