Synopsis
When gunman Willi returns to his village after an un deserved conviction of 10 years of prison, he finds his people very hostile... even his girlfriend thought him guilty! His brave intervention against a dangerous gang of bandits not only saves a cargo of gold but restores his good reputation! After having found and punished the responsible of his unrighteous conviction, Willi's honor and good reputation are finally restored.
Review
Some bad guys trash a saloon and kill a lot of people while waiting for a shipment of gold to arrive at the local bank in this entertaining Spaghetti Western from the director of Amanti dei Oltretomba. Eduardo Fajardo is as evil and over the top as usual, while Craig Hill is the hero of the piece as an ex-con (wrongfully accused, of course) who saves the day. Director Mario Caiano worked extensively in Westerns (Il Mio Nome e Shanghai Joe is marvelous), but is best known as a horror director, as is this film's co-cinematographer Sergio Martino (I Corpi Presentano Tracce di Violenza Carnale). Genre enthusiasts will recognize Nello Pazzafini, Spartaco Conversi, and Roberto Camardiel among the cast.
