Content: Manuel de la Loma (Celso Faria) and Virginia de Leon (Femi Benussi) aren’t really lucky with their relationship. The problem is governor Don Juan de Leyva (Aldo Bufi Landi), who also wanna marry sweet Virginia. Therefore he arrests Manuel and accuses him for murder. Then he offers a deal to Virginia: Marriage against the live of the beloved. But de Leyva did reckon without Quintana, a masked rebel, fighting for the poor peones. Quintana liberates Manuel outta jail, so that Virginia can rebuff the offer of the horny governor. But this strikes back: He captures the lady and – once again Manuel. Whereas the latter has to kick the bucket after “special treatment” (not shown), de Leyva arranges the marriages with Virginia. But Quintana enters the scene again to spoil the party.
| The Gunslinger says: Spaghettiwestern, inspired by the „Zorro“-theme, which gambles away all credits because of its ridiculous story. The love triangle Don Juan (sic!), Virginia and Manuel dominates the plot, but it really booooooores, folx. In between we see Quintana, who seems to be an avenger of the oppressed, but in fact only has to liberate Manuel out of prison or to prevent marriages. Yaaaawn! Well, despite of the fact, that my boredom and drunkenness have increased dramatically during the film, I recognized passable acting efforts and a quite nice di-Stefano-score, which offers a melancholic trumpet-theme.
