Description
In one of a long series of spaghetti westerns, Lee Van Cleef stars as Clayton, a hard-as-nails gunman who is pitted against an equally tough opponent in Saxon (Horst Frank). Clayton turns out to have a softer side when he befriends a young cowboy named Newland (Peter O'Brien) who has been wrongly accused of murder. The good guys and the bad guys are almost interchangeable as the story reaches its inevitable climax.
