Gringo Gold

Clint Bellamy and Mex Juarez come across a wagon–train of Irish immigrants in the Amarillo Desert. Their gold cross had been stolen and they were lost, literally and metaphorically. Matt Sullivan and Kathy Mullins leave the wagon–train to accompany Clint and Mex in pursuit of the cross, but trouble starts when Reardon and Kelly trail along. They want to possess both the cross and the beautiful, teenaged Kathy, neither of which goes down well with her devoted partner, Matt. When the pards hit town Matt is found holding the knife that killed Reardon and he looks set to hang. But Matt knows that only Kathy’s hand could have wielded the knife - he stays silent so that she won’t end up dangling on the end of a rope. The pards have to prove Matt innocent, hampered by the actions of Gabe Dance’s gang and the machinations of Red Carlson, a lecherous woman–beater. Meanwhile, wanted outlaw, Mose Belman, posing as a blameless priest, steers a crafty course with the cross towards the ultimate reward.
