As a child, Jeff Tracey witnessed the murder of his father Django, who was cowardly shot in the back. Many years later he is in the company of the two pistoleros Logan and Four Aces and on the way to Topeka City, where the two gunslingers were hired by Thompson to redeem the city from the misdeeds of the gang bosses Clay and his people. Among these people, Jeff discovers Thompson's best man responsible for his father's death. After many entanglements and misunderstandings - for a long time Tracey Thompson believed himself to be the culprit and the man behind the unrest in Topeka - Tracey, Logan and Four Aces are able to get the man out of the way. Tired of all the hatred and bloodshed, Tracey now devotes herself to future Christian values ​​under the guidance of the village chaplain, Father Fleming, who was at his side all the time with advice and action.

Reviews

The reviews were quite friendly and saw a "(i) Italian (n) series western, less brutal than the majority of the genre.") Or "(a) solid vendetta story, exciting and unfussy"

Ulrich Bruckner notes in his comprehensive work on the genre: "Civirani's first and best Italo-Western, underlaid with a melodious Umiliani score"

The Protestant film observer , on the other hand, judges less favorably : “Mediocre spaghetti westerns in dark colors. [...] The story of the dozen does not win through the gunslinger reformed to pastor, to whom the script gives too little profile. "
