Versions

• The slightly altered US version goes by the title The Stranger's Gundown. It moves the original version's explanatory pre-credits scene providing a Confederate context for the character later into the film.
• The German theatrical version was cut by about 2mins. The DVD by Studiocanal presents the uncut Italian version.

Plot

A mysterious, vengeful stranger rides into town and creates all sorts of havoc in this spaghetti western. It seems there are a number of people on his list and before he metes out justice to each one, he places a cross with that person's name on it in the middle of the street. The burning question becomes whether these people are dealing with a one man army of flesh and blood or an avenging angel of death.
