They begin an uneasy affair.Ĭhaney cautions Speed that he wants to make a little money to "fill a few in-betweens," and then move on. At a diner, he meets Lucy Simpson (Jill Ireland), a lonely woman whose husband is in prison. They travel to New Orleans, where Speed intends to enter Chaney against local fighters at long odds. Betting his few dollars on himself, Chaney wins with a single punch. After the bout, he approaches one of the fight's organizers, the fast-talking "Speed" (James Coburn), and asks Speed to set up a fight. He comes upon a bare-knuckled street fight run by gamblers. Chaney (Charles Bronson), a mysterious, down-on-his luck drifter during the Great Depression, arrives in town in the boxcar of a freight train.
