Lee Van Cleef is now sheriff of an Arizona town. His new wife begs him to release a young prisoner against his better judgement. He concedes, and the same day the kid robs a bank and kidnaps his wife. He eventually finds her dead in the desert. Driven by revenge, he finds and kills the gang responsible, but acquires a debt that requires him to deal with a large band of Mexican bandits terrorizing another town. He hastily assembles the "old gang", all of them in prison, and hunkers down for the Big Finale. It's a manufactured Hollywood sequel, shot on obvious back lots, lacking any kind of style or characterization, even Elmer Bernstein's score is hopelessly derivative.
