content
After the death of an Indian agent, the Indian Captain Apache is tasked with solving the crime. Amidst corrupt sheriffs, greedy landowners, false priests and Mexican revolutionaries, he finds out that the knowledge of "April Morning" has to do with the murder: the landowner Griffin wants to get rid of the Indians. So he arranges a plot with revolutionary Mexicans to kill President Grant with the help of a car called "April Morning" during a train ride. The Mexicans are disguised as Indians. Captain Apache puts a stop to that. The oil and gold found on the Indian reservation took enough blood.
criticism
“The richly arid and tangled plot of the Western is only a hook for the hero's reckoning with his villainous environment. Occasional tension and tenacious jokes are drowned in unimaginative brawls and boredom. "
"A muddled western in which Lee van Cleef in the title role shoots dozens of one-dimensional characters who get in his way or who have just two scenes."
Remarks
- The film songs Captain Apache and April Morning are interpreted by Lee van Cleef.
- The film was made in Daganzo .
