| A tale of Texas during the post-Civil-War Reconstruction Era. Recently married Winslow Summers spins the yarn of a mysterious Yankee Carpetbagger he encounters in old Bastrop. The stranger -- one Aaron Strauss -- guns down a member of the hated Texas State Police and is awarded the title "The Bastrop Kid" by the local folk. Strauss forms a gang of ne'er-do-wells and manages to coerce Summers away from wedded bliss and into a bizarre series of adventures which range far and wide over old Texas. The obsessed Strauss leads the gang in pursuit of the Comanche chieftain who had abducted and tortured his fiancee. |
