The Last Hard Men

In 1909 Arizona, Captain Sam Burgade has retired from his law enforcement career with the Arizona Rangers. Hoping for peace and quiet, he suddenly learns that his old enemy, Zach Provo, has escaped from a Yuma prison with other convicts. Zach Provo is a half-Indian outlaw who dreams of exacting revenge on Burgade, not only for putting him away, but for the death of his Indian wife who was killed in a crossfire years before. Burgade was shot by Provo and barely survived, but he later sent Provo to prison. Now out for revenge, Provo does not go after a cash shipment as Burgade expects, but instead kidnaps Burgade's daughter, Susan.

The six escaped men form an ambush. Provo allows two of them to sexually assault Susan in full view of Burgade and Brickman, assuming Burgade will show himself in an attempt to rescue her. To stop him, Burgade has been knocked unconscious by Brickman, however, and is unable to intervene.

With Brickman's help, they set a fire to smoke out the fugitives, Burgade is able to dispose of them one by one until only Provo is left. But he finds himself at gunpoint, then is shot by Provo several times and Provo is about to cut out Burgade's heart when he is able to retaliate at last with a handgun shooting Provo through his chest. The film ends with Susan and Brickman tending to Burgade's injuries.
