content
El Cisco was blamed for a bank robbery in Dallas. For five years he was on wanted posters and chased through the west. In addition to fleeing, he tried to find the real culprits himself. His search leads him to Calabasas, New Mexico, where he finds work with the rancher Lowell. The place is under the control of the Mexican bandit El Tuscarola and his people who have an ally in the local deputy. The gang raids Lowell's ranch, kills the defenders, and rapes Edda Lowell. El Cisco then apparently joins the gang, knocks them over the ear and face, and is hunted by them from then on. Finally, with the help of a gravedigger, El Cisco finds the real culprits and brings them to defeat with "kisses on the forehead" (shots between the eyes) and his ubiquitous exploding cigars.
Reviews
The film didn't do particularly well; Christian Keßler considers it "despite the many cigars for none", the lexicon of the international film concisely judges it as "stereotypical", and Ulrich Bruckner also calls it "insignificant without special highlights". The Protestant film observer also blows in the same horn: "A rude Italo-Western, which - despite its minor advantages - [...] is not recommended."
