The Ballad Of Cable Hogue

Cable Hogue is isolated in the desert, awaiting his partners, Taggart and Bowen, who are scouting for water. The two plot to seize what little water remains to save themselves. Cable, who hesitates to defend himself, is disarmed and abandoned to almost certain death. Four days later, about to perish, he stumbles upon a muddy pit and discovers an abundant supply of water.
