action
Verità, Jezel, Miseria and Gigante hang around between Sacramento and San Antonio and fight their way through life with rip-offs. Verità uses a book, "How do I get rich in the West", which he tries to implement in order to achieve the goal formulated there. For example, the four of them use the confusing situation in the civil war and can be celebrated as war heroes in their respective uniforms. But then they get into the hands of some southerners when they make a mistake with the uniforms. You are sentenced to death; the end of the war saves their lives. Burned down, they let themselves be entertained in a monastery and steal a couple of donkeys with which they get to Paquita, where they are employed as servants. Paquita also knows about the hidden gold of a corrupt official. A plan is forged to outwit the military guards who stand in the way between the benign crooks and the prey. Just when everything seems to be going well and they believe the gold is secured on a cart, they are ripped off by a mysterious stranger and his gang. Verità explores his name full of admiration: it is Louis James, the author of the book "How do I get rich in the West". Verità and his friends are hopeful about the future.
criticism
The Segnalazioni Cinematografiche expressed themselves negatively: “In this poorly imagined Western, the gimmicks are insufficient to compensate for the leaps in the story, the contradictions of the characters and the lack of rhythm, especially since the approach is remarkably tough.” In addition, the dialogues are “enforced with platitudes ”. Christian Keßler called the work an "unimpressive debut for" the "established television director Perelli", which toddles at a leisurely pace and does not reveal any essential efforts by the script to maintain order.
Remarks
Four tracks on the soundtrack were released on CD.
