Young Clint Forest kills his father in an argument and blames his brother Johnny for the death. After spending ten years in prison, he goes in search of Clint, who has meanwhile become a feared outlaw and whose head is exposed to a considerable sum.

With the help of two of his people, Clint lures Johnny into a trap. Beaten up, he is left in the desert. After his recovery, Johnny embarks on a merciless campaign of revenge that none of his opponents, not even his brother, survived.

criticism

The lexicon of international films said it was “a cruel and bloodthirsty spaghetti western that uses the name Django as a pretext for a poor story of revenge.” Christian Keßler praises the “small effective B-Western ”, which is the ideological foundation of the whole Genres show: “It's about the contrast between ideal family vs. broken reality ". The anonymous critic of EL Mese wrote very negatively that the film shows brutality for an end in itself, is rude and unpleasant. The landscapes around Rome are also authentic, but inappropriate. The Protestant film observer distributes praise and criticism: “With this Italian color widescreen western, the story is more interesting, the ethos more differentiated, the design more original than some of the others of its type. Still regrettable [...] brutal, yes, cruel. "
