5.000 dollari per El Gringo

Wild Bill Elliott plays Matt Boone, who at the beginning of this film movie has just earned a position as a stagecoach driver. Unfortunately he is forced to draw a gun in self-defense when he catches someone cheating at cards; when Matt kills the man, a couple of people in Waco are willing to stick up for him, but others threaten a lynching.

Matt flees Waco and falls in with an outlaw gang headed by Curly Ivers (I. Stanford Jolley ) and Matt is robbing banks with the Ivers gang. Eventually Matt has the chance to hang up his outlaw guns and serve as sheriff of Waco.

Elliott's taciturn personality is utilised well in this good western. With whatever survival options he has his character is grimly moving forward. The best character has to be the one played by I. Standford Jolly, an outlaw leader who is sympathetic and encourages Elliott to become a sheriff. An unusual turn as usually in this type of westerns the leader disagrees with their member becoming the law. You could tell that he regrets the outlaw path and would be happy to see someone to come out of it. It's sort like a redemption for himself. Paul Fierro plays Lou Garcia, who inevitably faces a showdown with Elliott.
