Comment/Synopsis

A group of European aristocrats go hunting on an Indian reservation, but when the Indians attack it is up to the mysterious Shalako to try and save them. Things are complicated by the aristocrats arogoance, internal betrayal and a feud between Shalako and one of the Indians. This is a curiousnBritish western film in Spain with a good but unusual cast for a western. there are several set piece gun battles and some tangles relationships. This is not a classic western but also not a bad example.
