Plot

Silver, who is elegantly dressed and lives in a hacienda with beautiful senoritas, is hired to find out if the accused Chester Conway, the black sheep of the town, really is guilty of the murder charge that he is to hang for. By investigating clues and arranging a trap, Silver discloses some respected citizens as the guilty parties. However, when Conway is released Silver shows that he had raped and killed a Mexican girl while the murder he was charged with took place, and he kills Conway in a duel.

Cast

Reception

In his investigation of narrative structures in Spaghetti Western films, Fridlund ranges The Price of Death among Spaghetti Westerns heavily influenced by secret-agent films, because the hero is shown in company with beautiful women and in luxurious surroundings, works to uncover a mystery and - unlike the protagonists in A Fistful of Dollars and Django - does not have any complicating secondary motive.[2]

Release

Wild East announced they would be releasing "The Price of Death" on DVD in a double feature with Killer Caliber 32. The release was canceled due to rights issues. Killer Caliber 32 is now scheduled to be released in a double feature with Killer Adios instead.[3]
