The Film
Durango, a debt collector, arrives in the town of Tucson, where he is hired by a bank director called Ferguson, who refuses to pay him his fee afterwards. Durango is thrown in jail on a false accusation but manages to escape and teams up with a Mexican bandit to get even with Ferguson, who has concocted a complicated plan to rob a shipment of gold belonging to the people of Tucson.
Comment
This is the second of a planned trilogy with Harris, who would play Sartana in all three movies. There are still some traces of the original plans, but Harris plays a character called Durango, and the film often feels like a pre-Leone spaghetti western, only with more violence – Scherpschutter
