What happens

Take a Hard Ride is a 1975 Italian-American Spaghetti Western film directed by Anthony Dawson and starring Jim Brown, Lee Van Cleef, Fred Williamson and Jim Kelly. This was the second of three films Brown, Williamson, and Kelly would star in, following Three the Hard Way and preceding One Down, Two to Go. Pike, a stone-faced cowboy, meets up with Tyree, a dishonest gambler. The duo attempts to transport $86,000 across hundreds of miles of Western wasteland to deliver it to the widow of Pike's former employer Bob Morgan. Co-financed by Italian and American producers, filming took place on location in the Canary Islands on a budget of $2.3 million. On June 21, 2011, the film was released on DVD through Shout! Factory as part of a double feature with Rio Conchos (1964). (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
