Kaibo Huge was betrayed and robbed by his friends Tagore and Buwen, leaving nothing behind. While trekking in the desert, he vowed to take revenge. On the verge of dying of thirst, Huge accidentally dug up a source of water, so he had a plan to sit on the ground and sell water to passers-by. The first passer-by refused to pay and was shot by Hugh. The second traveler, the pastor Joshua, threatened to sue him for illegal possession of the land, but it just inspired him to go to the town to buy the land. Huge persuaded the banker in the town to invest him in building a hotel near the water source. At the same time, he also met Xidi, a charming prostitute in the town. When Xidi was expelled by the townspeople, Huge took her in. The two fell in love. Xidi's dream is to find a rich husband in San Francisco, but Huge wants to stay where he is for revenge. Xidi reluctantly left Huge. Three years later, Huge finally waited for his enemies, Tagore and Bouwin. After a fight, Huge killed Tagore and forgave Buvin who was begging for mercy. As a wealthy widow, Xidi returns to his hometown, Huge cedes the inn to Buwen and prepares to follow Xidi to the big city. Before departure, Huge was hit by a car in order to save Buwen and died of his injuries

A comedy that makes people smile rather than laugh, and the characters are still Sam Peckinpa. The heroine of Fengchen has a beautiful face that is not stained with dust.

A Western with a strange style, the plot is de-typed again and again and unexpectedly, but I don't know why the ending was handled that way? Just to express the fact that the old western people can't integrate into modern society and can only stay in the wild desert forever? In this way, the whole film is de-typed, and in the end, it uses the common ending of western films, but it falls into a cliché... The inspiration for Wong Kar-wai's "Evil in the West" and Shunji Iwai's "Swallowtail Butterfly" may come from this film Bar?

Reverend Joshua Sloan: He charged too much. He was as stingy as they come. Yes, he might have cheated, but he was square about it. Rich or poor, he gouged them all the same.
