...last grand old gentlemen of finance, at ease with king or laborer alike. ITT represented, to its thousands of workers, one man, who commanded their fierce loyalty, love and admiration. I am glad Colonel Behn did not live to see his dream become a giant conglomerate, where the personal touch and human values are lost in the balance sheet, drowned in the quest for the almighty dollar...

As is only proper in a low-grade western, vigilante justice finally prevails when a rodeo-riding half-breed (Tom Laughlin) hunts them down and makes them cry into their beards...
