In a western town, the town's two most important families, the Careys and the Donovans, are heartfelt enmity.

After intrigues, shootings, ambushes and duels, Mac gets the girl and reconciles the two families.

"Half caricature, half realistic, Macario goes his way with puns, niceties and songs," wrote D. Calcagno, who even compares him with Buster Keaton and praises the director's style, creativity and intelligent direction. Even Giuseppe De Santis praised the quick jokes and amusing details.
Remarks
The script is based on Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet .
