In this role he can shoot two of the perpetrators; the third, Jason, he brings to Steven to confess to his crimes. At a court hearing, however, he is acquitted thanks to a shrewd lawyer.

Steven and Betty, who Scott loves, ask him to stay with them, but when he becomes a gunslinger, Scott has chosen solitude as well.

criticism

“Hard and second class” occurred to the lexicon of international films when assessing the German version. JJ Dupuich also classified the film as a Western series, carefully staged, but “with the simplicity of a comic for children. Lots of deaths, little blood, and a cold feeling that turns a declaration of love alone into a distraction from a death trap. ”The Protestant film observer came to a similar assessment:“ Average European Western: hard, superficial and unsatisfactory in terms of presentation. ”

Remarks
