Starring
Nick Adams in his final role as Shannon, a stoic cowboy in a small border
town besieged by a gang of killers. With the murder of the sheriff,
Golden City has fallen under the control of the Nelson family, Joseph
and his deadly sister Angela [another extraordinary badgirl performance
from Regina Torne]. These two (and their gang) have driven off most
of the law-biding citizens; however, some honest farmers remain - especially
Sara King and her father - to oppose the Nelson's stranglehold. Meanwhile,
bounty hunter Victor and his cohorts arrive in Golden City, lured by
the high prices on the heads of Nelson gang members. But they are a
wild bunch and soon start causing trouble of their own. Then arrives
poncho-wearing, cheroot-smoking Shannon, finding himself squarely in
the middle of a war.
Written
by popular filmmaker Federico Curiel (NEUTRON,
the NOSTRADAMUS
series, VAMPIRAS,
et al) and legendary scripter Ramon Obon Jr (LA
LOBA, LATIGO
[THE WHIP], ENIGMA
OF DEATH, et al), this was an obvious attempt to duplicate
the success of the European Spaghetti Western in Central America. Nick
Adams [American cult star from the hit TV series THE REBEL: JOHNNY YUMA
(1958-62)] does his best Clint Eastwood impression. He was slated to
do a sequel but sadly died from a drug overdose in February 1968, before
the release of this film, at age 36.
