He has a poker face; there's something about him that keeps people away. That's Rex Farley, a.k.a. Ben Travis, a.k.a. Dan Britton: the teak-tough loner with many names. He killed Red Grayson, and now the stakes of his feud with the Grayson gang have been upped by a bounty on his head. Link Colman, whom I imagine as Lee van Cleef, hunts him from town to town, trying to beat the Grayson boys to the punch. Travis is also stalked by Apaches as he rides across the desert country of Arizona and New Mexico, and he himself is chasing something: the late Chet Ramsey's fortune.This Western mélange is, like "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly", all the more delicious for its triangular game theory. Is it in Colman's interest to bag Travis, or should he turn his sights elsewhere?
