This is the first western that Lenzi directed and it's also known as "Go For Broke".
The film centers around two men named Johnny Sweet (Mark Damon) and The Owl (John Ireland) as they track an Indian called Copperface who has stolen $200,000 dollears worth of gold bars from a bank in El Paso, Texas.
Both men are constantly trying to "one-up" each other whether it be gambling, shooting, fighting or anything else. Both Ireland and Damon do very well with their roles and play off each other very well.
There is a lot of action in this movie and I never got bored with this one. They finally catch Copperface and get the gold, but then things really take a turn. We find out the real reason The Owl wants the gold, and it isn't what you think.
The films seems to be rather rare, but it's streaming now and I can easily recommend it to any western fan. I didn't give away much in the plot because I thinl you should see this and enjoy it.
The rest of the cast includes Monica Randall, Armondo Calvo, Fernando Sancho, Jose Torres, Lisa Halvorson and Franco Gula.
