Return of Sabata

Sabata verdingt sich als Artist in einem Wanderzirkus. Als das Varietee in einer texanischen Kleinstadt Einzug hält, stößt er auf einen Mann, der ihn früher einmal um 5000 Dollar gebracht hat. Jetzt kann er sein Können effektiver zum Einsatz bringen: Sabata fordert Rache - und sein Geld zurück. Gleichzeitig kann er auch noch ein anderes Problem lösen: Die Stadt von dem korrupten McIntrock befreien, der die Bürger mit unmäßig hohen Steuern knechtet, um sich das Geld in die eigene Tasche zu stecken. Ganz selbstlos verfährt Sabata dabei jedoch nicht: Er wäre nicht der durchtriebene Antiheld, wenn am Ende nicht noch etwas für ihn selbst rausspringen würde...

Sabata, a former Confederate States of America army officer and steely eyed, quick-drawing, impossibly accurate gunman with a trick gun, is working for a travelling circus as a stunt marksman. The circus comes to a small Texas town, where a former subordinate officer, a lieutenant from the army is running a crooked casino. The man owes Sabata $5,000 from sometime ago. Then the circus manager runs off with the circus funds, so Sabata decides to stay in town and try to collect on the debt from his friend. Sabata then runs into conflict with the town's land baron, McIntock, who imposes high taxes on gambling, drinking and prostitution with the supposed idea of building the town up, using the money. Sabata, who is after the money himself, finds out that the townspeople's money in McIntock's safe is counterfeit and that he and the priest have hidden it elsewhere, in the form of gold coins. After a few attempts on his life and lots of badmen dying under his guns, Sabata and the lieutenant are apparently killed so McIntock goes for the money, only to find them both still alive. Sabata is helped throughout by his friends; the acrobat, his partner and a fat, pompous man who is anything but what he seems.
