Sergeant Claude Akins has decided to quit the army in style when he and two others decide to rob an army gold shipment. One who buries it has a map drawn to find it. But he loses it and his life to gambler James Coburn who is one unique kind of rogue.
So is sheriff Carroll O’Connor who led a life of crime himself before taking the badge. In fact as sheriff upholding law and order he’s brought a Tammany Hall/Chicago machine style to the job. He’s also got an interesting set of morals after Coburn fleeing from him takes advantage of his daughter Margaret Blye.
I won’t even go into the plot and definitely won’t go into who wound up with the gold. It has to be seen to be believed.
Scoundrels abound in Waterhole #3 along with many laughs. It’s a comedy, it’s a western take your pick bet well worth the watch
