Buchanan rides alone (80 min.): Making the arduous journey from Mexico back home to West Texas, exhausted mercenary Tom Buchanan rests his horse in an otherwise quiet border town. But all is not what it seems and he soon discovers that almost every resident - from crooked sheriff Lew through to the shifty-eyed innkeeper - is a member of the prominent Agry family. Corruption is widespread and when Buchanan steps to the defence of Juan de la Vega, a young man about to be lynched for shooting the town drunk, he too finds himself on the wrong side of the law.
