After Cacopoulos manages to save himself from being hung on a false charge, he robs Cat Stevens and Hutch Bessy of a lot of money and steals their horses. This results in a merry chase and Stevens and Bessy become unwilling allies in Cacopoulus' revenge against the people who deserted him and framed him to get their money back.
Middle of the trilogy but to be honest you don’t need to watch them in order as they’re different enough in quality and tone. Wallach plays the fun charming conman constantly changing loyalty. The real star is Bud Spencer doing his Pluto role - beating up entire towns and so on with outrageous outfits and his partner who is so good looking (underused Terrance Hill) it’s not far fetched to think of them as a couple. Spencer gets the most screen time.
This one is one of the big budget spaghettis but not nearly as epic as Leone. Still fun to be had without being totally slapstick. The less said about Brock Peters (!) and the circus nonsense the better.
“Ace High” is an entertaining spaghetti Western that thrives on the undeniable chemistry between Hill and Spencer, carrying the audience seamlessly from one wild scene to the next.
