action
Rio Bravo is bullied by the unscrupulous businessman Zack Williams (Tichy) and his henchmen. He would own all the mines in the area, even if the young Clementine Hewitt (Davis) is overwriting the one inherited from her father. He responded to her long refusal to do so with intimidation and violence; he also uses the gang of the Mexican Pancho Bogan (Sancho) to raid the silver transports from that mine. Clementine got to a point where she wanted to give up and go away, but her best friend Jeannie Lee (Lebeau), the owner of the saloon in Rio Bravo, had turned to an old friend for help without her knowledge: Through a shooting four years ago in Tombstone made famous lawman Wyatt Earp (Madison).
In order not to be recognized immediately, the gunslinger uses the pseudonym "Laramie". One of them knows him anyway: Sheriff Leo (Serato), who has come to terms with Williams' machinations and therefore increasingly approves of alcohol. But when his ex-boyfriend is accused of murder by the villains and the gallows threatens, the law enforcement officer gets up and fights together with "Laramie", both of whom come across that Bogan was ripped off by Williams in the latest silver robbery. "Laramie" advises the Mexican to disappear to his homeland, but the Mexican wants to pull off one last coup. This becomes his undoing - a follower of Williams shoots him from an ambush. Then "Laramie" settles mercilessly with the villain on the main street of Rio Bravo ...
Reviews
"Entertaining western ... from the early days of the spaghetti western."
“Demicheli obviously feels most comfortable when he can show riders in a wide landscape. He cannot convey the insights into the business life of Rio Bravo so convincingly. "
"Not exactly more original, but sufficiently entertaining Euro Western."
"Despite a whole sample collection of clichés, the work is very pleasant in form and content and can be recommended to friends of the genre [...]."
