When Ken learns of Brewster’s release, he sends two gunmen to ambush him. But Brewster prevails and is befriended by a mysterious stranger, Vinny Getz (Dan Duryea), who reports to Ken’s ranch that Brewster is dead because he killed him and gets hired to work as one of Ken’s thugs. The boss man of the thugs is the psychopathic Mendez (Henry Silva), a grinning lunatic bent on sadism. Soon Brewster maneuvers to get hired by Mendez, and it leads to the predictable climactic shootout between Brewster and Getz against around a hundred of Ken’s thugs. No problem there for the two boys. After knocking off all the baddies, Brewster reunites with his lost son. The surprise at the end is that Getz is a government agent, who vouches that Brewster redeemed himself by going after Ken and rewards him with an appointment as the sheriff of Austin.

Duryea sleepwalks through this dismal role, but it’s still good to see the old timer at his craft. The pic is also saddled with an awful dubbing, which makes the chatter not only artificial but hard to decipher. But the main problem was that this spaghetti western just has too much red sauce on its plate to be appetizing, unless you’re addicted to such junk films and the violence is what rocks your boat.
