content

In the border area between the United States and Mexico, the unscrupulous gang around "El Sancho" Rodriguez has set itself the goal of robbing the Virgen de la Luz monastery in the near future , because the head of the local statue of the Virgin Mary is adorned with a valuable diadem with diamonds. On the way to the monastery complex is at the same time the monk Louis Willoughby, who has a less godly brother - the gunslinger Andrej, who is also in the area. The precisely planned attack on the church institution got out of hand when several of the monks put up armed resistance; they are all killed, including Louis, who arrives shortly after the massacre.

Andrej is shocked, but does nothing for a long time, but instead has fun with the gang leader's playmate, the red-haired Carmen - a dangerous buffoon in every respect, because "El Sancho" is extremely jealous, and Carmen is a deceitful bitch, that for many Causes tension within the horde. It is thanks to Andrej, who has meanwhile been encouraged to take countermeasures by the boyish boot and clothing seller Mikaela, that he survived his excursion into the monsters' cave hiding place - "El Sancho" kills two of his most important cronies himself and is caught on the run by Andrej . He wants to keep the diadem for himself, but Mikalea, who is in love with him, steals it from him and brings it back to the monastery.

criticism

• Christian Keßler writes that the film "benefits a lot from the unusual idea with the monastery, where some very effective scenes succeed. (...) The climax of the film is a bit puny."

"This Capuano-Western is a bit better than Il magnifico Texano , but nevertheless worth forgetting."
