Plot summary
The Civil War has just ended, and Colonel Jonas, who commanded a regiment called the Hellbenders, intends to rebuild the Confederate Army and defeat the Union. He and his sons Ben, Nat and Jeff massacre Union soldiers who are carrying a consignment of banknotes, and the money goes into a coffin said to hold Captain Ambrose Allen, an officer killed at the Battle of Nashville. Kitty, a prostitute, pretends to be the captain's widow, and Ben also brings in Claire, a saloon hostess and gambler, for the deception. A sheriff's posse stops the wagon on the road and wants to search the coffin.
