Outlaw Johnny Black

Johnny Black is a man on a mission of vengeance. He has sworn to track down and kill Brett Clayton, the man responsible for his father's death, but the pursuit turns him into a wanted fugitive. To stay hidden, he takes on the identity of a preacher and settles in a small mining town. The town, however, is under the control of a ruthless land baron, and Johnny's new disguise draws him into a conflict that goes beyond his personal vendetta.
