A group of bandits attack a small Navajo village, killing and scalping them all hoping to claim the one dollar reward per head, on their way to town to collect the bounty they are stalked by an Indian (Burt Reynolds) who kills two members of their group as they try and catch him. In town Duncan, the leader of the bandits, is disgusted to find that wanted posters have appeared for him and that the Sheriff has decided not to pay the bounties any more for killing Indians. After ransacking the saloon, the gang learn about a train carrying money heading for another nearby village and set out to rob it, but they are still being followed.
Shortly before beginning work on the iconic Django (1966), Sergio Corbucci helmed Navajo Joe. The Spaghetti Westerns were slowly marking their independence but the script still shows its roots, in this case not so much in the American films but the German Karl May series. Similarly to Navajo Joe, this short running but incredibly popular series had used a Native American as the hero and shown them as peaceful people, forced into violence by the actions of Yankee gangs rather than being violent of their own nature. However the Italian roots and hints of Sergio Corbucci's future projects come in the script's incredibly ruthless atmosphere - although Karl May's bandits are bad, these bandits are genuinely evil, content to kill women and even children without a second thought in their persuit of gold and indeed at the start are prepared to kill for little more than a couple of dollars.
