content

Bandit boss Black Jack Murphy lives with his sister and her husband in a ghost town. The robbery on the bank in Tusca City is said to be the last, after which he wants to give in to his sister's requests and change his life. It goes as planned, but the gang tries to rip Murphy off. But at first it is smarter and takes all the money. The Indian Joe betrays him, however, and leads the gang to the ghost town, where they get the money, torture Jack and first rape Estelle, later scalp and kill.
From then on, Jack, who was crippled, is obsessed with revenge and takes down the gang members one by one. Eventually he kidnaps the daughter of Skinner, his main enemy, and hides her in the ghost town. In his pain, the husband, Peter, mistakes Jack for the Indian and stabs him; before he dies, he can still kill Skinner.

criticism

• The lexicon of international film concludes: "Primitive and exceptionally brutal spaghetti westerns."

"Baldanello's best genre contribution - here the hero is as bad as the criminals."

- Ulrich P. Bruckner: For a few more corpses, 2006.

“(Robert Woods) is not given a symbolic crucifixion and resurrection; his life is irretrievably destroyed. Like a living dead he rides after his tormentors and in doing so lets all human precepts go overboard: When he executes his enemies, he laughs crazy and unrestrained ... Not a film for the faint of heart. "

- Christian Keßler : Welcome to Hell, 2002.

“Italian western that demonstrates the progressive decline of the genre through an almost complete lack of morality and brutality. [...] The script, direction and plot are all pleasing in the presentation of blood and brutality. To be rejected. "

- Protestant film observer
