With cunning, Silver induces the real culprit to betray himself and exonerates Conway, but in the meantime it discovered that at the time of the robbery in the saloon there was also the killing of a young Mexican. Silver decides to deal with Conway and punish him for the heinous crime he committed.

  2. Me too. She only appeared in 3 films. I don't know if that is her real name or what country she comes from.
