50th Anniversary of the release of Gun Shy Piluk

Today marks the 50^th anniversary of the Italian release of a small obscure Euro-western called “Gun Shy Piluk”. Sheriff Albert, son of Piluk is betrayed and killed by Sebastian Mason, a vicious landowner, who along with his brothers, gets rid of anyone who tries to resist his bullying. Before dying, Albert tells his father who killer was, but Piluk stubbornly refuses to tell the new sheriff, Roger Brown. When Roy the brother of Sebastian, kills Dr. Lukas and is sentenced to hang, Sebastian kidnaps the wife of Roger, in exchange for the release of Roy. But Piluk intervenes and frees the woman. Roger then organizes a posse and defeats Mason and his henchmen: Sebastian manages to escape, but in his path is Piluk, who kills him.
