Bill Kiowa wants revenge. Five years he was innocent in prison. He was fooled by his friend Elfego, who also raped and killed his beloved wife Maria. When he is released from prison, Kiowa hires four loyal gunmen: The powerful walrus O'Bannion, the gunslingers Jeff Milton and Francis Colt Moran and the young daredevil Bunny Fox. Together, the deadly troops hunt Elfego. Meanwhile, he has gathered a whole army around him and so it takes the cunning, malice and concentrated fighting power of the troops to get to Elfego. In a piece of woodland there is a deadly showdown. Bud Spencer plays the "walrus" O'Bannion in this hard Italo-Western, who takes part in the revenge campaign at Kiowa's side. After God forgives - I don't the film is the second work of the "newly created" actor Bud Spencer, who didn't even know how acting would continue at that time. This is also recognizable by the fact that Bud had shaved off his distinctive beard after the end of the shooting of God forgives - I don't. But since he was supposed to wear a beard here as well, they simply stuck a false beard on him for the shooting, a fact you can see clearly in the movie. The script was written by Dario Argento, who later successfully changed to directing and made a name for himself as a horror and thriller director. Bud Spencer and Argento got to know each other during the shooting and a friendship developed which led to Bud Spencer's participation in Argento's thriller Four Flies on Grey Velvet in 1971. The soundtrack of the film was written by Angelo Francesco Lavagnino. Lavagnino wrote the music for almost 200 movies in the 50's and 60's, among them the Spencer/Hill early works Human Torpedos", Il padrone delle ferriere and The Wonders of Aladdin. The soundtrack was released completely on CD in Italy in 2009. Previously, there was only one French Western sampler from 1988, which contained five tracks from the film. The film was shot in Italy, in the woods of Manziana, north of Rome.
