content

A bounty hunter who has just shot the bandit Thomas Garvin loses his life in a duel with Django, his son. Django delivers his father to the sheriff and collects the amount advertised. There he learns that his father was in wages and salaries with the banker Kluster and still has to receive a considerable amount of money, which he is now demanding in his stead. Kluster tries to get rid of Django with the help of his men. Slowly he realizes that he has tracked down dark business; at the latest when Kluster had his own bank robbed, killing the cashier and all the evidence pointing to Django as the culprit. Together with his two friends Gordon Watch and Doc, Django can not only prove his innocence, but also convict Kluster and clear his father's name.

criticism

"European spaghetti westerns with played out sadisms, both in terms of content and form below the average of the genre."

- Lexicon of international film .

"Solid, saddle-proof entertainment without depth, which has nothing in common with the greats of the genre, but does not disappoint either."

- Christian Keßler : Welcome to Hell, 2002, p. 79

Segnalazioni cinematografiche considers the film to be "very superficial, with the conventional characters and situations."

In his summary, the Protestant film observer remarks that the western may lack the usual sadisms, but formally it is only mediocre and looks monotonous.

Remarks

"The title is lying because this Django has a bunch of friends," remarked Joe Hembus
