action
Clay McCord is a well-known outlaw who was awarded $ 10,000 for capture. As the marshal of his city, Colby ensures compliance with the law. The Eldorado of the bandits is also within reach: Kraut accepts all those who have come into conflict with the law into his gang. McCord, plagued by paralysis in his shooting hand and therefore worried that he might have inherited the epilepsy from which his father suffered, joins them. The bandits torture and persecute him when he tries to evade them in hopes of getting impunity from the governor. In his conflict between the worlds of law and lawlessness, he also falls in love with Laurinda. When he is granted amnesty, the sheriff refuses to accept it. Governor Carter personally visits McCord, who is operated on by the politician's personal physician to remove the bullet that caused his paralysis. He rides away as a free man. Two bounty hunters, unaware that McCord's bounty no longer exists, shoot him.
criticism
"Tragic, peacemaking spaghetti westerns, but in the fight scenes raw for their own purpose", writes the lexicon of international films . AGCM Cinematografiche judged harshly: ". A Western, its only original idea in the turns of the tricky, long, loses convoluted story that is filmed boring and too much sensationalism" Rejected, the work also from the Protestant movie watchers : "pseudo Tragically Italo-western, which devalues its often unclear plot through incredible atrocities. Not to be approved! ” Christian Keßler recommends the film as“ well above average ”and particularly praises the portrayals of Kennedy and Machiavelli.
