action
A stranger, Peter Webb, comes to the Texan border town of San Felipe, which is falling a bit due to the construction of the railway. Attacks and attacks have recently taken place in the vicinity, so that safe travel is no longer possible. Webb finds work with the wealthy landowner O'Brien, whose niece Lisa is engaged to George Clinton, a foolish dude. O'Brien is the head of the gang that is behind the robberies and who ultimately want to ship gold to the bank. Their activities are now hindered by a mysterious gentleman in a mask. When O'Brien decides to raid the bank directly, his plans are boycotted by Webb, actually a state agent who is supposed to put an end to the hustle and bustle of criminal elements - and finally destroyed by the masked man. Under the mask is George, who turns off O'Brien and looks to a peaceful future together with his fiancée.
criticism
"Relatively bloodless European average western."
“This western is not entirely good and not entirely bad. The story is not very original, but the action flows nicely. (...) LA COLT hardly makes anything out of its railroad subplot and instead mixes in some Zorro escapades ... Indication that Brescia was less interested in the genre than in exciting brawls. "
Remarks
As was common in the early phase of the European westerns of the 1960s, attempts were made to give the film an international flair with American-sounding pseudonyms.
