Synopsis
In the city of Silver Springs, caretaker and lawyer Ken Denton, a wolf in sheep's clothes, is following his bad plans. He aims with the help of Gringo and his gang to ruin the old rancher Martin and then plans to take over the Freight Company. But a stranger called Mace Carson thwarts his schemes.
Comment
In a time when less and less westerns were produced in the USA, Hollywood director Roy Rowland went to Europe to shoot this simple movie, a typical naive German western of the mid-sixties.
