In this spaghetti western from director Calvin J. Padget (real name Giorgio Ferroni), Montgomery Wood (real name Giuliano Gemma) stars as Confederate officer Gary Hammond, imprisoned shortly after the end of the Civil War. The Union general in charge of the prison asks Hammond to go on a mission to stop a renegade Confederate general and his band of outlaws from robbed the gold deposits at Fort Yuma. Hammond agrees, but soon discovers that there's more to the story than he was led to believe. Also featuring Sophie Daumier as a character named "Connie Breastfull".
The movie has six credited screenwriters, which was not uncommon on Italian films at the time, but it may explain the overstuffed and piecemeal feel of the story. Wood/Gemma is boring as the hero, but Dan Vadis makes for a good villain, and Sophia Daumier is good as the showgirl love interest. There's a little bit of Ennio Morricone music on the score.
