action
Luke Barrett wakes up in the middle of the desert, without memory, next to a corpse with a rifle marked 'Dingus'. He finds out he's a hired killer who was supposed to carry out a murder. The victim is his brother, the land-trading dingus. Little by little, Luke can put together the fragments he learns to make up his story: Dingus is the son of an Indian and grew up in the Barrett's house, killed Luke's wife and brother Victor when he went into the civil war with him; he himself only narrowly escaped the attack that was committed together with northerners. This allowed Dingus to take over family ownership and use the Barrett name. When Luke visits Dingus, he finds the family's old doctor, Russell, who confirms the story. Dingus tries to kill Luke for fear of revenge, but is shot himself.
criticism
Briefly and without justification, the lexicon of international films calls the work an "[e] uropean [n] brutal western". "The preparation of the story is extremely stylish and effective," says Christian Keßler . Klaus Kinski also once again had an appropriate role. Cinéma et Télécinéma note the often and long-term element of flashback, which is unusual for the genre . The evangelical film observer also has a predominantly positive opinion of the work : “A coolly staged spaghetti western of the somewhat upscale class that dispenses with the usual atrocities of this genre. Possible for friends of the genre from 16 years of age. "
