action
After completing his training as a doctor, the young George Benton returns to his brother Jonathan's farm to marry his childhood sweetheart Lorry. Some time later the farm is attacked by the unsuccessful gold diggers Fargas, who cause a bloodbath that only George, a brother and a nephew have escaped and steal what they can take with them. George sets out to find the perpetrators he believes Ralph Barry and his two accomplices are. He sets up the trio and kills the accomplices; Barry escapes. In the meantime, the Fargas brothers have found out that one of the survivors can identify them as the real culprit, which is why they persuade Barry to visit the farm again to eliminate the witness. George also returns to the farm - he also knows the real perpetrators through a prostitute - and can successfully defend her, shooting Barry and one of the Fargas brothers. The surviving Rod can initially escape, but is then also provided by George, who hands him over to the sheriff.
criticism
The lexicon of international films gave a brief verdict: "Content-wise, brutal spaghetti westerns." The film needs almost 45 minutes to get going and is then "a film for viewers who appreciate bad behavior," writes Christian Keßler . Segnalazioni Cinematografiche similarly note that after “a slow and inconclusive first part follows a pattern of F-revenge massacre in the second”.
Remarks
The film song Walk by my Side is interpreted by Raoul ; it comes from the film Il momento di uccidere .
