Bandits are coming to a small town and capture the inhabitants. When the stagecoach arrives, they shoot the guards and steal the whole vehicle including the gold it carries. Williams (Wayde Preston) hunts down the bandits and their leader Burnett (Rik Battaglia) but surprisingly nobody knows where the gold has been left. Williams begins a search together with his funny sidekick El Loco (Marco Zuanelli, "Once Upon A
Time In the West")...
The construction of the whole plot is weird. First, we don't get any exposition of the characters and what they want. Williams stands around like a spectator and only begins to do something when it's too late for the coach drivers. Second, the plan of the bandits is idiotic. If they want to capture the stagecoach, they can do this outside in the desert, they don't need the whole village population as witnesses. Third, the villain is shot in the middle of the running time, and then a search for the gold is added, as if the writer realised that a movie is too short at 50 minutes. It feels like the final duel took place in the middle already and the rest is an epilogue.
Altogether it's an interesting movie with good camera work, a typical title song by Carlo Savina and a great role for Marco Zuanelli, but it's not going to be used at the school of script writing.
