action
The wealthy Thomas Felton is murdered by his wife Samantha, who has only been after his fortune from the start. According to the will, however, the sole heir is Felton's nephew Johnny Yuma. Samantha assigns her former lover, Carradine, to murder Yuma. When the two men first meet, they unintentionally get into a shootout and save each other's lives. Carradine reports to Yuma about his assignment and the two arrange a fair duel the next morning. Meanwhile Samantha has hired her brother Pedro and his gang to kill both men from an ambush. Again Carradine and Yuma stand by each other and bring down Pedro and his people. Carradine wants revenge on Samantha, but is shot by her. With the last of his strength, Carradine punctures the water tank of the carriage with which Samantha wants to flee through the desert with two shots. Yuma later finds the sun-scorched corpse of Samanthas.
Reviews
"A tough, colorful western."
The lexicon of international films put it briefly: “Spaghetti Westerns with a strong emphasis on violence and sex.” Even the Protestant film observer did not come to a better assessment: “Spaghetti Westerns, in which the blood flows particularly abundantly and red. [...] Because of the above-average number of corpses and the associated brutalities, even adults are not advised. "
