Bounty hunter John "King" Marley (Harrison) sets out to deal with New Mexico gun runners and bandits. His efforts are redoubled when they murder his brother.
This spaghetti western is, on the whole, of pretty average quality. A few things elevate it in places, namely that Harrison stars in a role to which he is well suited (there isn't that much actual acting to do; he appears to be suffering from facial rigor mortis much of the time), Klaus Kinski has a small role, and the theme song is pretty good too.
But the dubbing is a bit hit and miss, despite the fact that the film is short anyway they have a few needlessly long scenes and re-used footage, also the 'New Mexico' scenery is a bit lush in some places, yet looks more like a disused quarry in others.
In addition the plot and character motivations are not quite clear. Is King's quest primarily motivated by mere money, or by revenge for his parent's (and then his brother's) murder? At what point does the treachery of one of the other characters become evident to him? So worth a watch, this, but best taken in without elevated expectations.
