Als Kind hat Bill (John Phillip Law) seine ganze Familie verloren, die von einer brutalen Gangsterbande ermordet wurde. Jetzt, 15 Jahre später, macht er sich auf die Suche nach den Mördern, um Vergeltung zu üben. Unterwegs begegnet er dem geheimnisvollen Revolvermann Ryan (Lee van Cleef), von dem er sich Hilfe verspricht. Denn wie es der Zufall will, ist Ryan hinter der selben Bande her – allerdings aus Gründen, die er vor Bill besser geheim hält, wenn ihm sein Leben lieb ist. (Verleiher-Text)

Honestly, Ennio Morricone’s name alone is enough to get me to watch just about anything. It doesn’t even matter that this is a spaghetti western where I didn’t recognize anyone—starting with the director and ending with the cast. But Lee Van Cleef proves he’s the ultimate tough guy, and John Phillip Law, as a young American version of Terence Hill, is pretty solid too. Sure, it's a classic revenge tale, but the setting is so intriguing, and the soundtrack so incredible, it would be a shame to overlook this gem.

Disastrous dubbing, in which the actors, with the exception of Alois Švehlík and Karel Heřmánek, do not even try to give any performances, the vast majority of the sounds disappear, Morricone's music disappears as well, and tense scenes, such as the opening one, turn into a pathetic farce that arouses maximum ridicule. That's how Czech Television offered us this spaghetti western, which will probably be better in the original version. Although I'm not a big fan of downloading movies, this kind of shoddy work just makes me do it. Bleh, bleh, bleh!
