Who Killed Johnny R.?
A Western of the hardest kind
A hard-edged spaghetti western built on deception and moral corruption, where an innocent man becomes a pawn in a dead man's scheme to escape justice.
An assumed-dead gangster wants to implicate a completely innocent man to pay for his crimes so he can give the slip to his avengers and persecutors.
