The Good, the Bad and the Ugly / Zwei glorreiche Halunken [DVD9] (1966)

Storyline:: Blondie (The Good) is a professional gunslinger who is out trying to earn a few dollars. Angel Eyes (The Bad) is a hit man who always commits to a task and sees it through, as long as he is paid to do so. And Tuco (The Ugly) is a wanted outlaw trying to take care of his own hide. Tuco and Blondie share a partnership together making money off Tuco's bounty, but when Blondie unties the partnership, Tuco tries to hunt down Blondie. When Blondie and Tuco comes across a horse carriage loaded with dead bodies, they soon learn from the only survivor (Bill Carson) that he and a few other men have buried a stash of gold in a cemetery. Unfortunately Carson dies and Tuco only finds out the name of the cemetery, while Blondie finds out the name on the grave. Now the two must keep each other alive in order to find the gold. Angel Eyes (who had been looking for Bill Carson) discovers that Tuco and Blondie meet with Carson and knows they know the location of the gold…

Beschreibung: Drei Gauner sind hinter einem großen Batzen Gold her, der allerdings an einem unbekannten Ort versteckt ist. Da jeder der drei Revolverhelden nur einen Teil der Informationen kennt, die zu diesem geheimen Versteck führen, sind sie gezwungen, zumindest zeitweise miteinander zusammenzuarbeiten. Doch weder der namenlose Fremde, noch der mexikanische Ganove Tuco und schon gar nicht der gewissenlose, sadistische Sentenza verspüren den Drang, das Gold mit den jeweils anderen beiden zu teilen, sofern sie es tatsächlich finden sollten.
