Gary Hamilton (Klaus Kinski!) is released from ten years of hard labor with a pardon for a crime he didn't commit, so he does what any insane character played by Kinski would do. He sets out to kill everyone who ever did him wrong.
This movie comes from director Antonio Margheriti, who we all know from films like War of the Planets, Death Rage and oh yes, there it is, Yor Hunter from the Future.
Kinski wants Acombar, his former friend who set him up, dead. He has to go through the man's son (Antonio Cantafora, Baron Blood) to do it, as well as the Acombar's wife Maria, who was once his lover. He's helped by the people of the town who hate his enemy, as well as his knowledge of the Native American burial grounds.
This is less Western than horror film, with Kinski's character nearly a ghost, continually followed by gusts of winds and tolling bells as he returns to get his bloody vengeance.
While there are similarities to another Margheriti film Vengeance, this is very nearly a remake of Salvatore Rosso's A Stranger in Paso Bravo, which was made just a year before. This one, however, is unafraid to let the gruesome side of violence be seen.
The original story for both was written by Eduardo Manzanos Brochero, but the screenwriter for this was Giovanni Addessi, who also produced the movie.
