An army veteran known only as Gagin travels to San Pablo, a rural New Mexican town, to avenge the death of his old war time buddy.
As a man devoid of identity, some of the villagers refer to Gagin as" the man with no place."
A common theme in" noir" films is the post- war disillusionment experienced by many soldiers returning to a peacetime economy, which was mirrored in the sordidness of the urban crime film.
In these films a serviceman returns to find his sweetheart unfaithful or a good friend dead.
The war continues, but now the antagonism turns with a new viciousness toward American society itself.
In" Ride the Pink Horse", Gagin's quest to avenge his friend's death leads him to a small village in rural New Mexico, an unusual setting for the" noir motif" more typically associated with corrupt urban environments.
