Plot

Johnny Ringo is a Texas Ranger out to stop a counterfeiting ring. However, a large part of the story (and of the efforts of the hero) instead involves a triangle drama between big boss Jackson, the rancher Ray Scott, saloon singer Annie – mistress to the former and lover of the latter – and by way of Ray also his sister Christine. The connection of this to the mission of the hero is that Ray may be convinced to testify against Jackson. The real counterfeit artist turns out to be the sheriff - Ringo's partner to the investigation.

Reception

In his investigation of narrative structures in Spaghetti Western films, Fridlund takes Uccidete Johnny Ringo as one example of how stories where the hero is an organizational man on a mission are fleshed out with emotionally invested side-stories, mysteries to be solved and/or unstable partnerships.[3]

gollark: For more than a minute.
gollark: Int8 apparently causes it to just output random noise and I never got round to trying quantisation aware training for it.
gollark: It's quite strange that apparently BERT can be statically quantized without any extra training and retains decent accuracy but GPT-Neo emits nonsense going through the same process.
gollark: I was looking into quantization-aware training a while ago, but on the 125M model, and running that for a bit made it produce English-looking nonsense instead of random noise.
gollark: I think there's technically a way to swap bits of the model in and out of VRAM but it would still be quite slow.
