synopsis
The Plunderers is a fairly slow-paced, uneven western about a group of young toughs who run amok until they are brought up short by a one-armed Civil War vet. The leader Jeb (Ray Strickland) is accompanied by his three cohorts, Mule (Roger Torrey) a hulking Paul Bunyan type, Rondo (John Saxon), and Davy (Dee Pollack), the most innocent of the quartet. When the young men arrive in the small town, they take it over and rule the roost like four despots. Sam (Jeff Chandler), a shell-shocked veteran of the Civil War, slowly gets his act together and begins to take the four down, one at a time.
