High Plains Drifter

A mysterious, unnamed stranger rides out of the desert into the isolated mining town of Lago in the American Old West. He jerks upon hearing the sound of a horse whip from a passing buckboard. While sitting for a shave in a barber’s chair, three gunmen hired to protect the town taunt and threaten him; he kills all three with little effort. When the attractive, blonde townswoman Callie Travers flirtatiously insults him, he rapes her in the livery stable. That night, in his hotel room, the Stranger dreams of Jim Duncan, a U.S. Marshal, being whipped to death by outlaws Stacey Bridges and brothers Dan and Cole Carlin, as Lago's citizens watch in silence.
