content

Blindman is a blind gunslinger who also uses his rifle as a blind stick or lets himself be led by the tail of his horse. He is hired to transfer a group of 50 young women to Lost Creek who the miners there bought as brides. However, his partner Skunk tricked him and sold the women to the Mexican bandit Domingo and his brother Candy, who in turn intended to sell them on to the local army. With the help of his horse, Blindman tracks down the women and demands that Domingo return them. When Domingo has Blindman thrown out, Candy kidnaps and demands the 50 women as a ransom. Domingo apparently goes into it; however, when Blindman loads them onto a northbound train, he discovers that they have been replaced by 50 old women. Blindman visits Domingo again, but is locked in a dungeon with a Mexican general who is also captured. There he is tortured by Domingo's sister Sweet Mama; however, he succeeds in helping the general to escape, taking his tormentor by surprise and setting a trap for Domingo. In a pitch-dark cemetery building he confronts Domingo; now that neither of them see anything, he can kill him. The Mexican's gang is finished off by the general's soldiers.

criticism

"Italo-Westerns, whose massacres, mass rapes and indulgent slaughtering miss all measure."

- Lexicon of international film .

"A great film without a plot that you will find either stunning or boring as hell."

- Christian Keßler : Willkommen in der Hölle, 2002, p. 41.

“One of the most bizarre, brutal and original spaghetti westerns that has ever been shot. The director's intention to produce an unusual, surrealist film with an extreme story is underscored by the casting of Tony Anthony as the main actor. "

- Ulrich P. Bruckner: For a few more corpses, 2006, p. 385.

“The classic Djangos (...) are being replaced by the Super Djangos. This one is one. A cynical hero as a moderator of sex and brutality. "

- EWLänger, in: Filmecho / Filmwoche 40, 1972.
