Calloway helps 3 bandits to escape from prison. The deal is that they shall give him 50 percent of the gold they have hidden. Of course, as soon as they are free, they have little intention to divide the treasure with him. A long ride through the desert "valley of death" seems the perfect opportunity to get rid of him. However, Calloway is like a cat with 9 lives...
"Sartana nella valle degli avvoltoi" is a quite methodical movie which develops its story step by step instead of relying on mindless action. Yes, the movie is a bit slower than others of the genre, but since it takes time for its characters, for example the puppet maker, it has more qualities than the average low budget western. Nothing extraordinary, but I was satisfied.
