Synopsis
Cat Stevens is wounded in an ambush by the mining company's men who want his claim. He hides out with a travelling circus, but when one of theirs is killed by the company's henchmen, former gunfighter Thomas joins up with Cat. They then fetch Hutch Bessy and his deaf mute sidekick to get even with the company and avenge the murder of the acrobat.
Comment
In my opinion the weakest of the three Colizzi films. The music was somehow unfitting and the movie seemed to be somehow schizophrenic between tough western and happy comedy. But still an enjoyable film, albeit not half as good as the first (God forgives, I don't) and not as excellent as the second (Ace High) -- Sebastian 16:26, 9 Aug 2005 (CEST)
