Content: Local gangster boss Joe Kline (Pier Paolo Capponi) is really pissed, ´cause one of his gang members got away with the loot of 80.000 bucks. In the search for the money Kline and his mob terrorize the little city of Houston. Especially hot saloon-beauty Mary (Lucia Modugno) suffers under the sexual and sadistic cravings of the gangsters. Fortunately a fast-handed mexican enters the scene, called Pecos Martinez (Robert Woods). After he has killed some gangsters “en passant”, he declares his solidarity with the inhabitants of Houston and - very p.c. - with the mexican peones. Furthermore he has to settle a personal score with Mr. Kline.
| The Casketnail says: Maurizio Lucidis flick is a real gem under the early spaghettiwestern. No price for originality – a smixturemixture between “Django”“Django” and “A“A Fistful of Dollar“Dollar“ but it’s made really professional. It tells its story straight in little more than 80 minutes. Good actors: among the mobsters i.e. are young Sal Borgese and Luigi Montefiori. Quite good performance by Robert Woods, who is a believable, but a little bit too lethargic mexican. The camerawork is of high quality: Franco Villa, supported by Aristide Massacessi (“Joe D’Amato”). Quite decent score by Lallo Gori, not classical but supporting. By the way: Who do you guess was responsible for the set design? No one less than a certain Demofilo Fidani.
