Synopsis
When a gang of outlaws terrorizes Rio Ciuccio and kills the sheriff, his wife takes his place and cleans up the town.
Comment
This early example of an Italian western is a comedy about a female Sheriff who takes the job from her murdered husband to revenge him. A rather unknown film mainly produced for the local market.
