Young man comes to town seeking to clear his father's name. Seems the old man was accused of stealing some money belonging to one of the civil war armies (who really cares which side). After getting run out of town he meets up with Charo. Not the singer, the old man's former scout.
Turns out the old man wanted to return the money but his partners had other ideas. They shot the old man and left Charo for dead.
And now we have a revenge/buddy pic.
There are a lot of fun, if unoriginal set pieces: stage coach robbery, saloon robbery, another saloon fight, a posse or two, and a couple of good-looking dames.
It pases the time without taxing the brain too much.
As with most Dub Westerns, the voice-over work takes getting used to. And the continuity is a mess. But then, even the much-celebrated Sergio Leone couldn't edit his movies scenes in proper sequence to save his own life. It's part of the genre's charms.
Peter Lee Lawrence, who died shockingly young, is the good looking young man. Ultimately, however,, Guglielmo Spoletini - or Spanish George Clooney as I call him - steals the film with his considerable charm.
