Synopsis

Friends of veteran gunfighter Josey Wales are killed in Mexico by supporters of the executed Mexican Emperor Maximilian. Another friend, Pablo, rides to the ranch where Josey, thought to be dead by the United States government after events in The Outlaw Josey Wales, lives quietly with his wife Laura Lee, their baby son Jamie, her grandmother, and Lone Wolf and his wife and son. After learning of his friends' deaths, Wales travels to Mexico to confront a corrupt lawman and get another friend out of jail.
