The Quick and the Dead
A mysterious stranger is about to make a woman forget she's a wife and a man remember he's a hero.
Directed by Robert Day
Produced by Joseph Cates Productions
A frontier action-drama centered on a mysterious stranger's arrival to protect settlers from outlaws, with romantic tension and classic Western showdowns.
In 1876 Wyoming, the gun is the only law. And for Duncan and Suzanna McKaskel, newly arrived settlers beset by outlaws, rugged frontiersman Con Vallian is the only hope.
