Synopsis
The "Criss" kill Gringo's brother causing the blame for the death of the Perkins to fall on him. He is taken to prison, but with his friends, Mexico and four other bandits, he escapes. As they flee they reach a village in which a fair is held but someone recognizes them and they must leave taking a dancer, Carmen, as a hostage. Gringo tries to protect her and is left in the desert all alone. Meanwhile the bandits rob a mail-coach and kill the escorts with Gringo hot on their trail.
Comment
Tough, well made SW with an exceptional first hour, which follows a heterogeneous group of prison escapists on their getaway journey in a stagecoach. After an unbelievably silly scene, the film returns to the background story, which is resolved in a good but conventional ending. Another good SW by director Edoardo Mulargia, his second best, even if he gave away in the last 20 min the potential for a similarly good film as El puro.
