money off Tuco's bounty, but when Blondie unties the partnership,
Tuco tries to hunt down Blondie. When Blondie and Tuco come across
a horse carriage loaded with dead bodies, they soon learn from the
only survivor (Bill Carson) that he and a few other men have buried
a stash of gold in a cemetery. Unfortunately Carson dies and Tuco
only finds out the name of the cemetery, while Blondie finds out
the name on the grave. Now the two must keep each other alive in
order to find the gold. Angel Eyes (who had been looking for Bill
Carson) discovers that Tuco and Blondie met with Carson and know
