action
The convicts Roy Greenford and Emiliano escape from a prison camp. Emiliano dies of exhaustion on the run, but tells Roy about a treasure trove of gold that can be found in a gold rush town. Roy goes to the gold rush settlement and is picked up by the miner Joselito. In the village he learns of the brutal conditions between the miners and the exploitative landowner Redfield, who, with the help of some gunslingers, forces the workers to hand over their profits to him. Roy decides to help the workers and hires at Redfield to get the treasure and play his people against each other. After initial success, his plan is discovered and he is imprisoned and tortured. The beautiful Jessica helps him to escape to the gold mining village. The two fall in love. Seeking revenge, Redfield storms the village, torturing Joselito to find out where the two are hidden. After the showdown and the miners takeover, Roy and Jessica ride off. Flashbacks that tell the stories of Roy and Jessica are woven into the plot.

criticism
“The film presents itself as a tough Western with a very serious character, which was not treated with a funny synchro. (...) he serves up good entertainment for Captain Rauhbeine everywhere. "
Ulrich P. Bruckner says in his standard work on spaghetti westerns, “This rather unknown film (counts) certainly among the best, most exciting, moving and most brutal spaghetti westerns of that time. Aldo Florio (using) some of Sergio Leone's recipes for success such as vengeance, reparation, but still manages to stage an independent film with interesting characters and an exciting story. "
“A spaghetti western playing in Mexico with high-tension action; speculative villain ripper with no mercy; dead serious cinema killing "
The Italian critics were less enthusiastic and considered the “film, shot with rudimentary technology and little feeling for the show, just another sequence of the usual patterns of the genre” . (Segnalazione Cinematografiche 1971).
