action
The two gunslingers Bull and Lord (Django) come to Laredo, where they are hired by Judge Warren for a delicate task: They are supposed to search for lost US $ 500,000 that belong to the Confederate States of America and were hidden by an officer who died while defending the money against some northerners . Warren died just a few days later. The influential Forrester family, related to the late Colonel, have their own interests in finding the sum. Therefore she tries to hinder the search for Bulls and Lords by means of a committed group of bandits; the real heiress Regina, paralyzed, also asks the help of Bull and Lord. After several shootings and incidents, however, the two manage to defeat all bandits. Regina now lets the gold come out; her servant Trent wants to overpower the paralyzed; then she, who only plays the late Regina and can actually walk, is exposed as the mastermind. Lord (Django) and Bull now also recognize the connections and ensure justice.
criticism
The lexicon of international films judged the film to be a "lengthy western with an unusual accumulation of brutal scenes, which are, however, somewhat defused by gruff humor." Segnalazioni Cinematografiche saw the plot only as an excuse for the authors to show new sadistic effects and Unwinding patterns of violence regardless of content consistency, absurdities and banalities. The acting performances are artificial as usual. According to the Protestant film observer , it is a lengthy and brutal western.
Remarks
Walk by My Side , the song heard in the film, sings Raoul .
The German dubbing turned the film into a comedy, which, in the opinion of Spaghetti Western chronicler Ulrich P. Bruckner, makes it lose its entertainment value. Christian Keßler also notes this : "This film was originally an ice-cold revenge drama [...], but Rainer Brandt accelerates so that the bars bend."
