The loneliness of gold mining in the Sierras abates for prospector Pardner (Clint Eastwood) when his cohort, Ben Rumson (Lee Marvin), agrees to share his wife Elizabeth (Jean Seberg). They live in the town of No Name where Elizabeth is the only woman, and now Ben worries about the other men being interested in her. His solution: kidnap a stagecoach filled with prostitutes. He opens a brothel, and business booms. Ben later gets involved with Mad Jack Duncan (Ray Walston) in creative mining under the town's buildings looking for golddust falling through the floorboards. Not a good idea–the town collapses, and everyone moves on. But, Pardner and Elizabeth remain and try to work out their problems. Lerner and Lowe songs intertwine with the action and include "I Talk to the Trees," "They Call the Wind Mariah," and "Wand'rin Star."
