The small texan town of Stoneville is controlled by the three Clark
brothers (Ruben Rojo, Mirko Ellis, Manuel Gil), who want to get the property of the inhabitants to sell this later to the
railway company. Even murder is an appropriate method. Scott Baker (Zachary Hatcher), whose parents were killed by the brothers,
takes some shooting lessons from old gunfighter Carranza (Pepe Calvo). One year later he is able to carry out his revenge
plan. He sends anonymous death threats successively to the Clarks, which thereupon engage him as bodyguard for 1000 dollars
per day, without knowing, who their new guardian angel is. As they find out, it's too late.
The Gunslinger says:
Average movie, made in 1966, which offers nevertheless an
acceptable look and quite exciting entertainment. Director Silvio Amadio pledges thereby for taking the law in one's own hands.
Finally Scotts friend, Sheriff Steve Benson (Mimmo Palmara) fails with his attempt to punish the Clark brothers with legal
methods: Jason Clark (Ruben Rojo) is acquitted owing to lack of evidence.
Italian actress Anna Maria Pierangeli died 1971 at an overdose
of barbiturates.
