Horror maestro Mario Bava (Black Sunday) goes down a different trail with this zany satire of Sergio Leone's "Dollars" trilogy! Roy Colt ("Four Times That Night's" Brett Halsey) and Winchester Jack (Charles Southwood) are two roguish cowboys whose gang isn't very successful at earning a dishonest dollar. The two friends go their separate ways, with Roy vowing to find an honest job. But he changes his mind after arriving in Carson City, where he's made sheriff and entrusted with the replica of a stolen treasure map leading to a fortune in buried gold. Who will reach the gold first? Will it be Roy? The Reverend ("Five Dolls for an August Moon's" Teodoro Corra), a Russian outlaw with a fist full of dynamite? Jack and his gang? Or perhaps Mahila (Marilu Tolo), a mercenary Native American seductress desired by the Old West's Most Wanted? The answer may surprise you as they all have a date with a skull and an open grave in an ancient Indian burial ground!

Customer Reviews
Mario Bava, Renaissance Man
Mario Bava over his career seemed to have carte blanche with the content of his films, no matter what the budget and although he mainly did giallo thrillers, he sometimes dabbled in comedy, sci-fi and a few spaghetti westerns, which was in vogue at the time. This film is quite entertaining and even silly sometimes, but I have an open mind when it comes to spaghetti westerns since most are quite revisionary to a degree....My only qualm is a minor one but I am sure others will mention it as well for good reason...this dvd does not have an optional English track, maybe it was never released here in the U.S. or any other English speaking countries, I can understand that, but it appears that Brett Halsey and Charles Southwood are speaking their lines in English and Marilu Tulo is as well or partly anyway. But again, a good portion of Bava's films that has been released on DVD has been in Italian only, just like this film and so far I believe this is the only spaghetti western released that has only an Italian track only with English Subtitles, however I can watch it either way and I believe the film is not a ripoff of Leone's or even Corbucci films but stands on its on legs. In closing if you are a Mario Bava fan it should be included in your collection and spaghetti western buffs ditto....
