action
$ 2,000 is exposed on Johnny's head when the gunslinger is approached by a man hiding behind the pseudonym Solitaire who poses as a Pinkerton agent and asks for his help in finding the booty of a heist; the bandit Buseba stole a million in gold coins. In return, Johnny would - because of his habit of having his opponents cross himself before drawing, he is also called "Amen" - receive a share and amnesty for his crimes committed. Johnny agrees and goes with the solitaire apostrophized as a player to the little town that Buseba has brought under his knot with the help of a bought sheriff and waits until he and his gang can leave for Mexico.
When Johnny has an argument with the bandits, he receives help from a mysterious man known as a "Phantom". He also intervenes in another tough argument; with him Johnny can eliminate the bandits. Buseba is meanwhile ripped off by Solitaire, who actually only works for his own account and Johnny only uses it as a means to an end to get the gold coins. The phantom turns out to be the old, well-known gunslinger Dean Light, who seemed to have lost touch with reality and was attacked by Buseba's people as the shoeshine “Puzza”. Together with Johnny, who defended him against some meanness, he can find the gold and secure it.
