The American President James A. Garfield wants shortly after the Civil War visit a city in the south. Influential people are already planning an attack there.

An African American is accused of carrying out this attack. However, Bill Willer manages to bring evidence to the court that convicts the real conspirators.
Reviews
"A spaghetti western who enjoys shooting, but comparatively carefully staged, and with its superficial parallels to the murder of John F. Kennedy seems ambivalent."
“An exciting noble Western whose admonishing and serious undertone (...) cannot be ignored. (...) The milieu [is] good and the actors do their best. "
“(…) Political westerners with strong, often somewhat confused action elements that allude to the Kennedy murder in Dallas . (Rating: 2½ out of 4 possible stars - above average ”
"Presidential murder in Dallas in 1881 serves as the starting point for the usual shootings of revenge in a spaghetti western. Nothing exciting despite the allusion to 1963. For Gemma fans. "
