Synopsis by Clarke Fountain
This western is notable for having Bill Cosby in a dramatic role in his first feature film. Caleb Rivers (Cosby) is a black Civil War Veteran who just wants to clear out his Arizona homestead and live in peace with his neighbors. Instead, he and his son (George Spell) have to track his stolen horse all over the Southwest, fighting bigoted bullies and the hardships of nature the whole way.
