“This audaciously dishonest spaghetti western from prolific director Demofilo Fidani (using the pseudonym "Lucky Dickinson") was created piecemeal using lengthy sequences from Fidani's previous films. The premise has legendary gunslinger Django (Hunt Powers) recounting some of his greatest adventures to an enraptured Wild Bill Hickock (Jerry Ross) in a saloon. The stories which Django tells are entire scenes from such Fidani films as Arrivano Django e Sartana...E la Fine! (1970), Inginocchiati Straniero...i Cadaveri non Fanno Ombra (1971), and Quel Maledetto Giorno d'Inverno Django e Sartana...all'Ultimo Sangue (1971). Fidani regulars Gordon Mitchell, Dean Stratford, Celso Faria, Dennis Colt, and Lucky McMurray also appear.” ~ Robert Firsching
