In the beginning of Once Upon A Time In The West or C'era una volta il West , a family is gunned down from shooters too far off in the distance to see. Three of them are killed but one of them, a little boy, scampers off into the house hiding from the barrage of bullets. The next shot is one where the boy runs out to see his father, brother and sister all killed. Suddenly, shadows emerge and he looks up to see three men. What are we going to do with this one, Frank? Now that you've called me by name? Just as he says this, Frank guns down the little boy in cold blood with sadistic thoughts.This is the story of Frank. An old West gunslinger who takes no prisoners to get what he wants. But there is something more to this cowboy. He wants to take on the business world as well. He makes deals with Mr. Morton, a big real estate tycoon who Frank takes advantage of daily. Frank looks as though he can hold his own with a gun and with his checkbook.However, one day, a man from his past named Harmonica comes into his life wanting vengeance.
