Est-il utile de rappeler que le Colonel Mortimer et le Manchot sont, pour des raisons diamétralement opposées, deux chasseurs de primes, qu'ils sont à la poursuite de l'Indien et de sa bande, que les deux bounty killers se rencontrent à El Paso et qu'ils décident de s'associer?

Je n'aurai qu'un mot: magistral!
