But at a certain Joe, discovers their deception, forcing them to follow him to Auction Nueva, to help him accomplish a delicate mission. In the town, once the home of the late Ringo, the two drifters claim to be his children. While they are celebrated by the people, they are attacked by Red Bearded Jack, Burt ‘The Bear Trap’ Simpson one-eyed Jimmy. Joe, who has followed them along with two women, Dorothy and Marisol, saves them. Subsequently, however, Django and Gringo, names used by Franco and Ciccio are forced to confront a terrible bandit "Indio" and his henchmen. Again they are backed by Joe, Dorothy and Marisol, with their help they expose the misdeeds of the banker Simpson and annihilate "Indio" and his gang which are wanted for a large reward. The attempt by Franco and Ciccio to pocket the reward fails because this is paid to the true children of Ringo: Joe and Dorothy.
