Jim Latimore, a Yankee who has returned from the Civil War, brings the ideal of brotherhood and freedom with him to the border of the Rio Grande, to the peons who live there. This arouses the resentment of the Gonzalez brothers, who rule the area with a hard hand, whose hostility has been turned into hatred by the marriage of their cousin Rosaria to Jim, whom she preferred to them. Jim is killed, Rosaria terribly humiliated. The kidnapped son is raised by the Gonzalez.
She found five friends of Rosaria as cleaning lady in a saloon. They swear to restore their former Hein, bring their son back and avenge Jim's death. They ride with her to the Rio Grande de la Frontera, where they meet bandits who are in the service of the Gonzalez brothers. After the gang is overwhelmed, it goes to the collar of the brothers who have to die for their misdeeds. Rosaria can now continue Jim's peace work with her son.
criticism
"Hard Western in which vengeance and vigilante justice are the only motives for action."
“And another horrible Italian-Spanish western,” wrote GB Cavalloro, “with tens and tens of deaths, with sadistic tortures, with violence against women and the weak. [...] A tough film, cruel, staged with enough speed, but without any originality, which doesn't keep what it promises at the beginning. "
“Emotional and sentimental, but also very hard revenge ballad in a colorful Italian-Spanish western. No endorsement. "
Remarks
The film was made in the studios in the Rome and Madrid area.
A shortened version was cut by 7 minutes and allowed for ages 16 and up.
