MacLee has staked a claim on a goldmine ... and then he's shot dead.
However, he has passed on the papers to his nephew Tom ... but somehow
they have found their way into the saddlebags of travelling medicine
showman Chiko instead - who promptly loses them in a pokergame. Anyways,
the henchmen of the skull-masked Death Cavalier (who also shot MacLee) are
soon on Chiko's trail. He however hooks up with gunman Django, who shoots
him out of many a tight fix. But initially a klutz, Chiko is quick to
learn to handle all sorts of weapons extremely well, so well in fact that
he is made Sheriff of the town. But the Death Cavalier is no fool and
sends Rozita after him, a sensous brunette who's sure to make every man
she wants fall for her - and Chiko falls for her, too ... but she also
falls for him, so ... Fate really changes for the worse for Chiko when
he arrests the brother of the Death Cavalier's favourite henchman Jack,
and Jack kidnaps him and Rozita to press his brother free. But the brother
has escaped prison in the meantime, and Django has gunned him down for
doing so. Thus it seems Chiko and Rozita are doomed ... but of course, in
the end Django comes to the rescue, and in the finale he, Chiko and Rozita
all work together to pretty much eliminate the Death Cavalier's gang -
with the Death Cavalier himself once unmasked actually turning out to be
one of MacLee's business partners. Especially the international
title of this movie sounds promising: the machine gun-wielding anti-hero
of the West fighting Turkey's favourite skull-masked supervillain ... and
thus the film is is almost bound to fail to live up to this: The Django of
this movie is not the Django
we know and love from the Spaghetti Westerns of old, and the skull-masked
villain simply is not Kilink
and is never referred to as such. What we're left with then is a pretty
routine and rather cheaply produced Western that's very episodic in
structure and tries to fit way too much story into its mere 75 minutes of
running time - but then again, it's also a film likably reminiscent of
Hollywood B-Westerns of old accompanied by some then contemporary
Spaghetti and Kraut Western music with plenty of action, wannabe-coolness
and a few moments of weirdness. Now don't get me wrong, this film is
definitely no classic and does not live up to the craziness of its
international title - but it's mildly entertaining at least ...
