The only survivor from his slaughtered family Bill, years later, is looking for the killers. On the same time an ex-con is looking for the same people to collect some money they owe him. The two men meet and ride together in a blood-soaked and decadent tale of revenge. One of the darker spaghetti westerns was one of the many inspirations for Quentin Tarantino, in the making of Kill Bill.
