Lazy western drifter Terence Hill arrives in a dusty western town where his half-brother Bud Spencer has assumed the role of sheriff. The older brother convinces him to become his deputy and help fight a local gang harassing the innocent Mormon farmers. Hill has his eyes set on two Mormon girls while Spencer covets their horses. A band of Mexican bandits gets involved, leading to a long, drawn fight for the ending. If not for the choreographed antics of the fight scenes this could almost pass as a straight spaghetti western. Hill is a ridiculously fast, and accurate, gunfighter and Spencer is a mountain of a man who doesn't budge during fights, no matter who, or what, hits him. The fights are a combination of slapstick, wrestling, kung fu and gymnastics. Very much a product of its time, but hardly gets a chuckle today.
