action
During the Civil War, a Yankee buys a fair amount of horses that the army desperately needs. In order to protect the payment for it from robberies, two carriage wheels are made of gold and swapped with those on the vehicle that is to take Rancher to their future pasture places under the direction of Captain Stuart. Unfortunately for the captain, the carriage is led by the two gannets Ric and Gian who, with all their inability, make the journey an unpleasant thing; For example, they secretly sell the bikes to an Indian tribe and replace them with conventional ones. In spite of everything, the journey can be designed successfully until it is interrupted by a troop of southerners. Unaware of the sale of the gold wheels, Captain Stuart blows up the carriage and flees with Ric and Gian. The escape ends with the Indians, where the gold for buying the horses can also be found.
criticism
Segnalazioni Cinematografiche judged that the debut of the new comedian couple was very disappointing. This would be due to too few funny situations, a sloppy script and the non-existent rhythm of the film. Conclusion: "A film with very modest charms". Christian Keßler also says, "The mediocre western fun draws its laughs largely from situation comedy, although the script does not provide much material."
Remarks
The comedian duo Ric and Gian, known from cabaret and television, was now also built up as film stars as a counterpart to the successful Franco & Ciccio , but remained largely unsuccessful. Christian Keßler describes her style as “not as garish” as that of the star comedians.
The film was shot in Cromoscope and Ferraniacolor.
