A mysterious group of outlaws terrorizes the Blakestone Hill ranchers, and anyone who doesn't want to sell their land to them is found brutally murdered. The two tricky bounty hunters Johnny and Fred let themselves be hired to capture or kill the gang members. Soon they recognize in the businessman Rodgers the man behind the gang, whose members Johnny and Fred can take out with a series of clever maneuvers. When Rodgers learns that Johnny is the son of the widow Reed, on whose behalf he once shot his father, additional emotions are set free. He is the father of the man who chases him. The widow, Rodgers, their son, and Fred can agree to pacify the area.
criticism
The lexicon of international film sums it up briefly: “Italo-Westerns with lots of corpses and little quality.” The Protestant film observer draws the following conclusion: “Brutal Italo-Westerns with poor mentality and equally poor scenery. The two main characteristics: Banging and cynicism. Worthless."
