VENGEANCE

Joko, Richie, Domingo and Mendoza hatch a plan to steal gold from bandits. Domingo, however, betrays them by revealing the attempted theft to the bandits. Joko, Ritchie and Mendoza are thus discovered during the robbery: Mendoza dies while trying to cover the escape of his friends. Ritchie escapes with the gold but is captured by five bandits and tortured in an attempt to force him to reveal where he was to meet with Joko.

When the bandits understand that Ricky won't speak, they dismember him by tying his limbs with ropes to horses. Joko thus begins his personal war to avenge his dead comrades and first kills Domingo, the traitor, and then sets off in search of the five bandits who killed Ricky: to each bandit, before killing him, Joko throws a piece of bloodied rope collected from those used to dismember Ricky. Joko, however, knows only four of the five bandits: the discovery of the identity of the last one will reserve him a bitter surprise. During the hunt for the assassins, Joko will also have to understand the role of a mysterious detective who shadows him.

Joko hunts down and kills the traitor Domingo and the four known bandits, but the identity of the fifth bandit comes as a bitter surprise, while the Pinkerton detective's true role is revealed during his quest.

The ending underscores the relentless and personal nature of Joko’s vengeance, as he methodically eliminates those responsible for his friends’ suffering. The revelation of the last bandit's identity adds a final twist, emphasizing the unpredictable and often morally ambiguous world of the Spaghetti Western. The Pinkerton detective’s involvement reflects the blurred lines between justice and obsession that define the genre.
