Yellow Sky 75 years old

It was as if the YELLOW SKY had sought them out... where fate had forgotten them and life had left them behind!

Yellow Sky

In 1867, a gang led by James "Stretch" Dawson robs a bank and flees into the desert. Out of water, the outlaws come upon a ghost town called Yellow Sky and its only residents, a hostile young woman named Mike and her grandpa. The story is a Western adaptation of William Shakespeare's "The Tempest".
