Near the Mexican border at the end of the 19th century, the young dart joined the Texas Rangers.

The Rangers manage to prevent the villain's dark machinations. They get u. a. in a village populated by karate fighting Chinese, meet a German circus troupe and play tricky cards.

criticism

The Lexicon of International Films states: “A whipping comedy planned as a parody of spaghetti westerns. At least in the German distribution version, a film without a joke or understanding. " Joe Hembus attests to one of the" few successful attempts from the end of the spaghetti westerns to balance the genre with a joke "; the film is bursting with quirky owls and a lot of absurd gags. The Italian critics saw endless brawls and vacillations between vulgarity and humor.

Remarks

The end titles announce a never realized sequel under the title Ancora botte per tutti, amigos .
