El Cisco has been blamed for robbing the bank in Dallas. A crime he has not committed. For five years he's been a wanted man and the law has searched and chased him throughout the West. Meanwhile Cisco has been in search of the real criminals. His search leads him to the town of Calabasas, New Mexico where he's hired by rancher Lowell. The town is in the control of a gang of Mexican bandits who are led by Capobanda/Torro/Tuscerora who is aided by the local deputy. The gang attacks the Lowell ranch and massacre the inhabitants and rape Edda Lowell. In order to get information Cisco pretends to join the outlaw gang who intend to rob the Calabasas bank. He beats them to the punch and now the outlaw gang is after him. In the end Cisco finds those who are guilty and they are made to pay the price using his explosive cigars and his “kisses on the foreheads” (a shot between the eyes).

Hello.
ReplyDeleteI think "5000 Dollars for El Cisco" is Danish title.
The Spaghetti Western database says it's The Netherlands which would be Dutch. Dizionario del Western All'Italiana says it's British title. It could be used by all three.
ReplyDeleteJust watched on youtube - an enjoyable enough "lower B grade" spaghetti, with music that gets a perhaps slightly higher rating. However there appears to be a bit of a mystery here...despite what it says on film posters, various credit listings online and in print, etc, if that fella playing El Cisco is the William Berger we know from Sabata, Today it's Me Tomorrow You, and so many others, I'll eat my sweat-stained, bullet-torn, dust-streaked hat. Perhaps someone more knowledgeable may recognize the actor, or otherwise clear this up?
ReplyDeleteYes, that's the same William Berger that later appeared in Sabata.
