Plot:
Lawrence White returns to Owell Rock
long after the death of his father, who was apparently killed by Doc Lester. In
the village, Lawrence finds his sister Jane, who urges him to avenge their
father's death, but Lawrence is hesitant, and his apprehension removes any
doubt on the part of the Lester family and their associate, Judge Warren. A
gunslinger named Harry Boyd also arrives at Owell Rock and is hired by the
Lesters. Meanwhile, mysterious events start happening in the town, and one by
one, people who were involved in White's murder are found dead. Suspicion then
falls on Lawrence, and the Lesters entrust Boyd with the task of capturing him.
Boyd succeeds, but the Lesters are forced to realize that the two young people
are actually acting in concert. In fact, Boyd is really White's son, while the
man pretending to be Lawrence is none other than Jane's boyfriend. Having
collected all the evidence against the Lesters, Lawrence goes to Judge Warren
and convinces him to reopen the trial against his father's murderers, but they
prepare an ambush for the two brave young men during which all of Lester's men
are killed. Only Doc survives and is personally confronted by Lawrence, who
hands him over to Judge Warren for justice.
The music:
At the time of the film's release,
not a single note from the score was released, and it wasn't until 2007 that
GDM Music issued the complete original soundtrack on CD for the very first
time. The title has been absent from the market for many years, so this reissue
with improved sound will make all Spaghetti Western fans around the world
happy. Nora Orlandi and Robby Poitevin composed an orchestral score introduced
by the “Titoli di testa” (Tr.1), a rhythmic adventurous theme with a nostalgic
flavor for trumpet, orchestra and choir. The central musical motif is a
recurring love theme with choir accompaniment (Tr.2,4,15), with the addition of
the harmonica (Tr.8) as well as a version sung by Raoul (Tr.21). The entire
dramatic side of the story is underlined by music of suspense and mystery
(Tr.3,5,7,10,18,19,20). Classical pieces with a religious flavor are performed
on organ and guitar (Tr.12,14,17), plus there is some Latin American folk music
(Tr.13,16) and a square dance (Tr.9). Nora Orlandi performs an evocative
ancient ballad (Tr.6) that is reprised with wordless vocals (Tr.11). This CD of
ours with a total duration of 56:30 comes from the mono masters of the original
sessions, plus six rare stereo bonus tracks that were found on another master,
perhaps conceived for a record that never saw the light of day in 1967.
