Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Dressed in black, the taciturn friendless gunslinger, Hud Dixon, rides into the dusty town of Blackstone, Nevada. Bent on shedding light on the brutal lynching of his brother, and his alleged involvement in a bank robbery, Dixon crosses paths with El Diablo, his one-armed former friend and Mexican bandit leader. Now, after a chance encounter with the deceased banker's dangerously alluring widow, Virginia Pollicut, Hud is thirsting for revenge, only to find himself in the crosshairs of Sheriff Gideon Ring, the town's businessmen, and a mysterious quartet of hippies. Will Dixon get to the bottom of this violent crime, or will the guns have the final say? Written by Nick Riganas |

Did You Know?
| Trivia | Françoise Fabian tells in her biography that Sergio Corbucci - the film maker - asked her to play in a rape scene which was not previously in the script. There was a serious argument between the two of them because of this and even Corbucci's wife stood up on the set to defend her husband. See more » |
| Goofs | In the ending cast credits of the French version, Lucio Rosato is credited with playing both Cabot and the Deputy Sheriff. Gino Pernice, who actually played the former role, is credited in the opening credits but not the ending. See more » |
