During a train hold-up Richard Martin, a circus sharp shooter, tries to resist the attempts of the bandits and they leave him with both hands mangled. He finds and teaches a young protégé, Ricky Shot, the tricks of the trade. Together they tour the west giving shooting exhibitions until they run into Billy Kane the leader of the outlaws who maimed Martin during the train robbery. When Martin is killed trying to take his revenge he is avenged by Shot. The director Dallimano was the cinematographer for Sergio Leone on “Fistful of Dollars” who learned his craft well as this is a fine looking film and filled with what we expect in the best Spaghetti Westerns.
