content

A sex-obsessed psychopath, Johnny Lester, takes on a bank robbery that fails due to his inability to work. He begins to kill people in his search for three men who have the announced money and is hired by a hacienda owner for a kidnapping, which also fails. Every woman he meets is molested by him; every man insulted or shot immediately. Ultimately, Lester perishes from his greed.

criticism

Torn wherever you look. “Miserably played and staged,” said the Catholic Film Service , and Christian Keßler specified: “The film is an almost complete catastrophe. The story is difficult to unravel ... the synchro is a real treat. In the end, Kinski falls dead down the dune, and the film shares this fate with him. ”And the Italian colleagues at Segnalazioni Cinematografiche attested bad design, foreseeable developments and situations stuck together without imagination.
