action

The contemplative western nest Little Lake is under the thumb of the bandit El Moro, who threatens sheriffs from the background and gives the citizens sleepless nights. The community orders the famous gunslinger Red Jack to look into the matter. But he is assassinated on the way; Nick's red hat serves as headgear for the drifting person, who is now mistaken for the expected. He is elected mayor and begins the fight against El Moro, who bought the new sheriff, with the adventurer Johnny Chitarra and the four Gold sisters who bought the saloon. After many adventures, the two men and four women are able to show that the alleged Padre Innocenzo is actually El Moro and stop him.

criticism
