Synopsis

Gary Hamilton is convicted when his family dies in their farm's fire while he was drunk... When he returns to his village of Paso Bravo, he finds the ruthless Acombar keeping the population enslaved by his cruelty. Having found out that Acombar is the person responsible for the deadly fire seven years before, our hero organizes a powerful attack of revenge.

Comment

A reformed bounty-hunter Gary Hamilton (Antonio De Teffe) comes to the town of Paso Bravo to avenge his murdered wife and daughter in this entertaining spaghetti western. Being that the man comes into town as an unarmed teetotaler, he is soon the object of scorn and ridicule by the hard-bitten locals. He gets beaten up and degraded a great deal, then finally decides to fight back and strap on the gun he swore never to wear again. This decision leads to a showdown with a sleazy, sadistic land baron (Eduardo Fajardo), turning in one of his most delightfully repellent performances. Intense characterizations and palpable tension make this film, director Salvatore Rosso's sole western, a treat for genre fans.
