Summaries

Victims of oppressive town boss Honey are offered help by an unusual alliance of gunmen and circus performers.

Honey Fisher has become a powerful man in this small Western town that has grown up around gold-prospecting fields. Fisher and his gang have managed, through swindling, murder, and terror, to gain leases on the important gold-yielding land in the area. A state commissioner comes to town to review the leases, which are crucial to Fisher's power. Cat Stevens and Hutch Bessy join forces with circus performers and townsfolk led by Stevens' friend Finch to fight against Fisher and his henchmen.—Charles Delacroix

Bleeding to death, and on the run from the corrupt land-grabber Honey Fisher's pitiless gang, the gravely wounded gunslinger, Cat Stevens, finds refuge in one of the wagons of the travelling circus owner, Mamy. However, no one is safe around him, and as an innocent suffers a fatal blow, Cat, along with his brutish ex-companion, Arch Hutch Bessy, his mute friend, Baby Doll, and the former gunfighter, Thomas, embark on a mission to stop Fisher from uprooting the inhabitants of a gold-mining town from their properties. Now, there's no turning back. Can the deadly quartet, with the help of the entire circus troupe, rid the land of Honey and his cut-throats?—Nick Riganas
