A small party of pioneers is fighting off an attack by a band of Mexican outlaws, when a young cowboy named Bill/Django happens along and helps them turn back the assault. He saves a young woman, Linda/Liana, whose husband was previously killed by Doc Thompson, the leader of an arms-smuggling gang. Linda/Liana joins Bill/Django as he travels to Santa Anna where Thompson and his gang hang out. Bill/Django decides to take on both gangs.

  2. Hi Llewellyn, just listing the Euro-westerns in alphabetical order and there are quite a few Django titles. The same goes for the Zorro and White Fang movies.

  3. Worth noting the lovely moment in the saloon scene when the star of the show sings - in Italian. Presumably they couldn't do a dubbed English version of the song. Hardly a classic otherwise but plenty of bang for your buck.
