Bounty hunter Ben Brigade (Randolph Scott, Comanche Station) is a man of action and honour. He ventures to California with prisoner Billy John (James Best, Coltrane from The Dukes of Hazzard), but has a mind to use him to lure an even bigger fish – Billy John’s evil brother Frank (Western legend Lee Van Cleef, The Good, The Bad and The Ugly). But at a frontier post the two find themselves in the middle of a Native American assault and are joined by the alluring Widow Lane (Karen Steele, Decision at Sundown) who decides to accompany them on their perilous journey to Santa Cruz. (Umbrella Entertainment)

In the western Ride Lonesome, it's evident that the Wayne-esque characters weren't as compelling, and there was a need to introduce something more intriguing to the genre. This western features pleasantly gritty and sweaty men, along with one beautiful woman, making it work excellently on that basis alone. But then there is also the story, which is interesting, and there are some surprises at the end.
