The man that many call Manco is a bounty hunter, a profession shared by a former army officer, Colonel Douglas Mortimer. While murdering the family of the man who captured him, Indio carries a musical pocketwatch that he had taken from a young woman, who had shot herself as he was raping her, after he had murdered her husband. Manco achieves this by freeing a friend of Indio’s from prison despite Indio’s suspicions.

Novelizations aren’t just a transcription of the film story. They also add details and backstory to the plot in a literary way.
“The author of a book pretty much gives up control of the story when the producers take over a book to make it into a movie.”
