Synopsis

Spoiler shield

In this violent spaghetti western a murderous robber hijacks a payroll train, murders everyone aboard and then stashes his loot. A gunslinger learns about it and decides he wants the money for himself and so hatches an elaborate plot to get at it. He lures the crook into a rigged poker game, and afterward a gunfight ensues. The quick-drawing gunman makes short work of the robber, then teams up with an insurance agent to look for the hidden fortune. Unbeknownst to them, the robber had an ace up his sleeve...

Part of

Jango (Terence Hill) Collection

The first spaghetti westerns as a trilogy with Terence Hill and Bud Spencer as Jango as Dan in the lead roles. It begins with "God Forgives ... I Do not!" Merges seamlessly into the nights movie "Ace High" over and ends with "Boot Hill". Unlike the later films with the two series is made very seriously and accordingly adapted bloody, even if some ridiculous elements can already be seen here that distinguish the duo later.
