Vault Note

Proof that in the Spaghetti West, even the church can't escape a good double-cross.

Programmer's Pick

With betrayals, a chest of gold, and gunmen on the hunt, this Eurowestern doesn't skimp on double-crosses or sunbaked style. George Martin and Fernando Sancho face off as treachery shuffles the deck, while the Tucson-adjacent setting gives the usual Spaghetti grit a desert tang.
