Jack ‘Sacramento’ Thompson is an ex-boxer, who’s always at odds with his former opponent, Tom Murdock, now a bank robber and two-bit outlaw, who still thinks Thompson beat him in a prizefight because of a few blows below the belt. When he gets into trouble, Jack sends his horse Ringo home to bring his son Jim and daughter Maggie to come to their father's rescue. After a series of skirmishes Murdock kidnaps Maggie and threatens to gang-rape her; he asks $ 20,000 dollars ransom money, but his real plan is to lure Thompson to the spot where Maggie is held captive, and kill him with his bare fists.

  1. Italian censorship is dated 4-13-72. Are you sure this was made that early as 1970?

  2. IMDb – 1972 (originally posted 1970 in 2008)
    Cinematografo = 1972
    Spaghetti Western Database = 1972
    Original soundtrack album was released = 1970
    Released on 4/13/1972 so it could not have been produced and filmed in 1972.
    The dates I poste are the earliest production dates I can find as many times films are held up for legal reasons, production reasons and procuring financial backing.
