action
Outlaw Joe Daylight flees with other men in his gang, including "The Kid," Doc Kindley and Henri Verain, from a squad chasing them after a bank robbery. In Mexico they split up and later want to share the money, but Daylight uses the daylight to buy the ranch Casa Grande. Little by little, the other members of the gang join the ranch, along with a new guy called the "Traveler".
Daylight plans to use the ranch as a starting point for cattle theft, which he wants to take from the neighbors and sell at the border for expensive money. His people, however, enjoy life as ranchers; the traveler and kid fall in love with Dona Maria de Castallar and Pacesita. A gypsy also causes confusion. Daylight's plans are made more difficult by the raids of a bandit group around Rojo, who also steal cattle. When they themselves are concerned, the people of Casa Grande hunt Rojo and his men.
In the course of the persecution, the different interests of those involved become increasingly clear; after arguments, Doc and Joe Daylight are killed. The rest of the people will stay at Casa Grande, and the traveler will start a family there with Maria.
criticism
The lexicon of international film found it terse: "Exciting". Joe Hembus , however, felt the film as "the sad end of the great Western writer Borden Chase".
Remarks
The Spanish title of the film is Los pistoleros de Casa Grande . It attracted over 600,000 visitors to cinemas in Spain. In the USA , the "average" film was shown in a package with the ruler of the desert .
