Output: Link Stuart Bronson is a ruthless outlaw, and coleader along with Gauche Delon of a gang of bandits. Link and Gauche lead their gang on a successful train robbery, and discover that one of its cars carries a Japanese ambassador, who is bringing a ceremonial katana sword as a gift for President Ulysses S. Grant. Gauche takes the sword, and kills one of the two samurai guards, while members of his gang betray and attempt to murder Link by throwing dynamite into the train car he occupies, then leaving him for dead. The surviving Japanese delegation rescues Link, and the ambassador instructs him to assist the surviving samurai guard, Kuroda Mifune, in tracking down Gauche so that he may kill him and recover the sword and his honor. Kuroda is given one week to fulfill this task, or commit seppuku at the same time as the ambassador, if he fails. Link reluctantly agrees, but he realizes that Kuroda will kill Gauche immediately, preventing him to extract the location of the stolen loot from his former partner in crime. Knowing this, Link repeatedly attempts to elude Kuroda, only to be thwarted by the irrepressible samurai. While tracking Gauches gang, Kuroda eventually reveals that his samurai values are disappearing as his countrymen no longer value the customs of old. Being sure that the country is changing forever and that the samurais will soon be gone, Kuroda explains that the only way to honor his ancestors and his own way of life is to bring back the ceremonial sword. Link gains a measure of respect for the strict bushido code Kuroda follows, and eventually comes to an agreement with Kuroda when the samurai gives Link his word that Gauche will not be killed before he reveals the location of the stolen money first. The duo arrive to a brothel in the town of San Lucas and abduct Gauches woman, Cristina Andress, who leads the men to Gauche and his gang. On the way to Gauche, however, the three run afoul of a group of Comanches, and Cristina is forced to kill one of them in selfdefense, compelling the bands enraged chief into chasing after them. When Link and Kuroda finally find Gauche, the Indians attack, forcing the two unlikely friends to join forces with the bandits against their common enemy. In the ensuing fight, the Comanches are repelled. Kuroda appears behind Gauches back and is about to kill him when he sees Link and remembers his promise, stopping himself. Gauche turns and shoots Kuroda, mortally wounding him before he can fulfill his revenge. Wounded and disarmed by Link, Gauche tries to appeal to Links greed, but Link decides that the dying samurais honor is more important to him than learning the location of the stolen money, so he kills Gauche. Just before Kuroda expires, Link promises him that he will return the katana to the Japanese ambassador. Link rejects Cristinas offer to become lovers and look for the gold in the place she believes it might be hidden, and takes her back to San Lucas. Soon after, Link hangs the sword in front of the train station where the Japanese ambassador is arriving, thus eluding capture and preserving Kurodas honor at the same time.
