A bounty hunter and a former slave team up, and after some time working together go after the slave's wife with the intention of buying her freedom.
Epic melodrama with interesting characters, yet extremely unimaginative action. In fact, it seems in recollection that there is only one type of resolution to every conflict: the hero exterminates a dozen or so antagonists with serial shooting. And although "epic" is the general tone of the work, there is no care whatsoever in respecting that tone; an example of tone-breaking is a sequence depicting a Ku Klux Klan raid which follows the Mel Brooks line of humor.
