A small Mexican province is held hostage under the evil rule of Juan de Leyra (Aldo Bufi Landi). He has regular executions and his prisons are full.
Tony Di Mitri is Quintana, a masked rider who fights for the people in a bloody and brutal fashion. Leyra has had a young man named Don Manuel de le Loma (Celso Faria) arrested for murder in an attempt to blackmail Loma's girlfriend Virginia de Leon (Femi Benussi) to marry him.
Slowly but surely Quintana fights to end this evil that has oppressed the land. This reinded me a lot of Zorro and it was a heck of a lot of fun.
There are a lot of great shootouts and other actions scenes. They are well handled by director Vincenzo Musolino. The widescreen presentation is beautiful and it is dubbed into English.
Even thought there aren't a lot of scenes involving the women of this movie, it's obvious Benussi, Marisa Traversi and Antonietta Fiorito steal the show.
Traversi plays the role of Perla, the woman whom Leyra wants to replace with de Leon as his wife. Then you have Fiorito in the role of Esmerelda, the girlfriend of Quintana. I will also say it was unique to actually meet the family of Quintana, as this doesn't happen much in these kinds of movies.
If you're a fan of these kinds of movies, I really recommend you see this. It won't disappoint.
