Plot

Django is looking for the murderer of his brother Steve, that he has found hanged near Tombstone. Django first believes Sartana, a rival bounty hunter, is the murderer and goes after him.

Production

The film is not an official part of either the Django or Sartana series and along with Demofilo Fidani's One Damned Day at Dawn… Django Meets Sartana! and Django and Sartana Are Coming... It's the End, was among three of the Django and Sartana films released in 1970.[3]

Reception

An Italian contemporary review states that this is "a mediocre film, based upon characters, situations and developments more than predictable."[5] A retrospective review on the Spaghetti Western Database finds the film "lame" and states that "As so often" (with Spaghetti Western films) the music (here composed by Piero Umiliani) "is the best part to remember."[6]
