Sarafian's directing debut, the film was shot in black and white in 1959 in Scotland, Arkansas and released in 1962.[1]

The plot involves a Mexican gunman who seeks vengeance after a mob lynches his son for a horse theft he did not commit. He takes hostages in the town's saloon before being confronted by the sheriff.[2] The film was criticized for its slow pace. It was not successful at the box office.[1][2][3]
