Thatu0026#39;s when his pregnant wife Amy, Tracy Brooks Swope, was brutally gang raped by a trio of scuzzy looking mountain men while he was out in the woods taking pictures of nature. With a very stretchy description of the men who raped her Travis goes on his own to exact justice on them leaving the local Sheriff Paley, Robert Reed, and his deputies behind in the cold.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eTracking down the men whom he thinks raped his wife Travis spots one of them-described as the fat guy with the white feather in his cap-Curly played by Jock Livingston and after trying to bring him back alive to face Justice ends up killing him when he resisted.
