action

When Braddock is about to be hanged, a group of gunmen rescue him. After a successful escape, Braddock kills the accomplices and with Lester and Randall and the help of his girlfriend Shelley he ambushes a stagecoach and, after they have left Randall seriously injured, hides in a ghost town with a stolen money box. An old woman, Molly Verner, who lives in the ghost town, watches her hide the stolen goods.

When the enigmatic Benny Hudson and Mary, whom he found helpless in the desert, join the group, they initially become the plaything of various obsessions. Hudson is tortured because the bandits suspect a larger group of people behind the two. The old woman helps Hudson free himself, who then begins a campaign of revenge against the bandits, Randall, who survived and rejoined the group, is a tough opponent, but also kills Braddock himself. After many arguments, the two survivors Hudson and Mary leave the ghost town, where not only money goes up in flames.

criticism

“After all, the script gives the director the opportunity to go on a few intensive excursions to demolished houses overgrown with spiders, which makes the film (which is otherwise quite static) optically relatively appealing for bocce conditions,” writes Christian Keßler . The lexicon of the international film judged: "Spaghetti Westerns with played out sadism against defenseless victims."

Remarks

Roberto Matano interprets the film song "The Price of Gold" .

The psychedelically influenced film Welcome to Hell was created based on the same script in 1970 .
