Synopsis
Three men meet in the same prison: Jerry, Reno and Paco. In their cell they find a Mexican boy condemned to death for a murder he has not committed. One night the three killers are mysteriously released by a priest and the father of the Mexican boy who promises them a reward of 30,000 dollars if they can find the real murderer within ten days. Certain that the Mexican boy is not guilty, Reno and the others organize a plan which leads to the unmasking of a lawyer and his gang. Jerry and Paco sacrifice themselves in order to let Reno get back in time with the evidence to save the boy. The next day, while Reno is at the bank to collect the $ 30,000, Jerry and Paco turn up surprising him, so the money is divided fairly... among the three.
Review
Craig Hill, whom baby boomers will remember as one of the stars of TV's Whirlybirds, heads the cast of this spaghetti western. Hill, Ken Wood and Peter White play three hardened convicts who are given a second chance. A Mexican youth has been framed for murder. Our "heroes"' mission: find the real killer. No Graves on Boot Hill didn't see much American play until it was released to TV syndication in the late 1980s.
