action

While trying to solve the death of Abraham Everton, and after preventing the death of an innocent man, Jacksonville Sheriff Alan Phillips takes on a bunch of people who can prove their innocence. To do this, he also has to deal with the rich farmer Foster, whom he has to take turns to slow down and fight. When he finds out that one of the suspects, Mark Evans, has a doppelganger, he turns out to be his twin brother, who knows about the background of the crime. The sheriff, who is actually preparing for the wedding, manages to clear up the matter and put the culprit, Foster, behind bars.

criticism

The “average” film “heaves its clichés past the viewer at a healthy pace”, as Christian Keßler puts it and praises the incisive supporting characters in the story. The evangelical film observer does not have a particularly good opinion of the film : "An Italian wild west film that is only moderately entertaining even for lovers of the genre."

Remarks

The small budget film is not listed in most of the directories and only appears to have been evaluated regionally in Italy. Sheriff Mimmo Palmara is dubbed by Rainer Brandt .
