In a cell of the Carson City jail are Broken Arm and Jack. The authorities wanting to know where the $ 200,000 Broken Arm has stolen have planted a small time crook named Jack. He gets to know the names of the members of the gang and places where they might have hidden the stolen money. Jack escapes and travels to Tombstone disguised as a federal agent. Here Jim, the first suspect tries in vain to kill him, but is in turn killed. After a series of ambushes and battles, the other accomplices, among which is the sheriff, kill each other off while Jack manages to get to the head of the gang, the mayor, and the $ 200,000. Caught Jack is returned to the cell. But Broken Arm, which is in fact the real crooked federal agent fails with a ploy to confess to the mayor of Tombstone and then recover the money. From now on, Jack also known as Ringo, will work in the service of the law.

  1. Berger looks so young and healthy in this. He seemed to age quickly.

  2. Berger's problems with wives, drugs and jail played on his physical condition and he went from the young hippie in Sabata (1969) to playing Franco Nero's father in Keoma (1975).
