An unholy alliance of cattle baron Adams and the local government terrorizes the farmers of Houston City, in order to drive these out. An US-Marshall (Glenn Saxson) is engaged for peace and to provide order. But the lacquer dandy apparently can't deal with a gun and seems rather to be interested to fill his own purse. Then the Sheriff, which had represented up to then the interests of the farmers still alone, is killed by the Adams-Mob. As Adam's engages gunslinger "Donkey" (really poor performance: Gordon Mitchell), everything seems lost for the farmers.

The Gunslinger says:

Trash director Alfonso Brescia (aka "Al Bradley") made this poor oeuvre in 1968. Nevertheless the surprising end as well as a brutal lynching scene are pluses of the film.

Rating: $-$$

Bodycount: 63 Gringos

Explicit Brutalities:

- The Adams family "questions" a buddy of Frank Ryan whether his whereabouts. Here is it shown: Sometimes flog leads also to success.

- Poor Tex Thomas must pay for the consequences, whom Adam's mobsters ignite his hut briefly, since Frank Ryan keeps himself hidden here.

- Frank Ryan is hung up extremely slowly by the Adam's boys. His brother Billy gets "chance", to save him, if he succeeds in high-climbing the honey coated gibbet in time. Times honestly: Can fold such a thing? Billy is angry after his failed sports-lesson, and is killed for punishment.

- For fun Adam's men beat up the old Sheriff buddy and civil war veteran "Northern Caroline" and give him a peace of lead for free ;-). The oldtimer survives.
