Blind "gringo" has a contract to deliver 50 women to miners in Texas. However, the women are in Mexico, having been sold to Mexican bandits. He heads to Mexico where he tangles with the bandits in an attempt to get the women. Ringo Starr is one of the leaders of the bandit gang, with a pretty girlfriend he wants to keep but who seems more interested in the gringo. He is eventually killed, but his funeral turns out to be the impetus for the Big Action Finale. Stylish widescreen photography of the Spanish landscape by Riccardo Pallottini, but otherwise this is one big bore, with Ringo badly dubbed or even worse, speaking Italian. Imitation Morricone soundtrack by Stelvio Cipriani.
