Dino wants to trade a woman for a Gatling gun in order to steal gold from Mexican bandits. Getting a woman in the wild west proves to be no problem for the suave, aging gunslinger: he has his choice of a Cavalry officer's wife, an Irish woman from back east he's supposed to marry and a couple of gals just over the border who he seems to visit frequently. If that's not enough to massage his ego, he mows down an entire village of Mexicans with the over sized gun. Dino's schtick is just transferred to a western setting, and it's no more appealing here than in his Matt Helm series of a few years earlier. Brian Keith tries too hard to inject comedy into his stiff Cavalry officer character.
