Pious Sagittarius

The Czech Wild West. Young gunslinger Dick Gampard wears his colts damn high, reads the Bible, and has high moral standards. He is determined not to kill, but he must avenge the death of his partner, Toronto Kid. Who doesn't know the legendary 'rodokapsy'—pocket-sized adventure novels? A phenomenon where popular adventure novels were published in cheap booklets. The story of the Pious Gunman fits perfectly into the aesthetic of the First Czechoslovak Republic. Young gunslinger Dick Gampard wears his colts damn high, reads the Bible, and has high moral standards. He is determined not to kill, which is why they call him the Pious Gunman. In short, the Mirek Dušín of the Wild West. When a dishonest ranch foreman spreads a rumour that he is responsible for the theft of a valuable horse, he can't let the lie stand and sets out to defend his honour. Although he promised his best friend, Toronto Kid, in his final moments that he would never kill again, when he and his new friends, known as the Siamese Twins, encounter the gang that killed Toronto Kid, he must avenge his friend.
