Django, Prepare a Coffin 1968

Attack on the gold transport; Django wounded and wife killed

During an attack on the gold transport, Django is wounded and his wife is killed. The brutal assault by David Barry's men shatters Django's plans for a peaceful life and pushes him toward revenge. This event triggers the chain of schemes and counter-schemes that follow.

Django fakes death and becomes a hangman

Believed dead, Django returns under a new identity as a hangman. He spares the condemned and gathers them into a small group that he plans to 'haunt' by exposing the perjurers who sent them to the gallows. The new role becomes a vehicle for his broader scheme to bring Barry to justice.

Hangmen plan to intercept and gather evidence

The hangmen set up a plan to intercept the attack on the gold shipment and capture Barry's men to obtain evidence. Their operation relies on misdirection and the illusion that they are still the victims of Barry’s conspiracy. Tensions rise as motives diverge within the group.

Garcia persuades the group to take the gold

Garcia manipulates the ensemble into taking the gold for themselves, arguing that poverty makes the theft justifiable. He spins promises of wealth and relief, undermining the original mission. The idea fractures the group and plants seeds of greed and betrayal.

Garcia eliminates the others to seize control

Garcia acts on his opportunism and begins killing those who resist the new plan, reducing the hangmen to a smaller pool and consolidating power. The brutal purge demonstrates the moral rot at the center of the conspiracy. Django watches these events from the shadows, preparing to act.

Django saves Garcia's wife from hanging

Django saves Garcia's wife from hanging, a critical reversal that reopens possibilities for alliance. Her rescue deepens Garcia's sense of debt and binds him more tightly to Django's cause. The moment also shows Django's willingness to risk himself to protect innocents.

Barry captures Django; Garcia rescues him

Barry captures Django, cutting short the alliance, but Garcia intervenes to free him. The rescue rekindles Django's resolve to pursue Barry and seek justice for his fallen wife. The dynamics among former enemies begin to realign around a common target.

Garcia admits treachery and plans the graveyard trap

Garcia admits his treachery and explains that poverty drove him to betray the group. He agrees to help lure Barry into a final trap, hoping to atone with action. The fragile trust between the survivors sets the stage for the graveyard confrontation.

Django digs up his coffin to set the final trap

In the graveyard, Django digs up his own coffin to retrieve a concealed machine gun and turns the trap on Barry and his gang. He uses the weapon to annihilate Barry's forces and end the conspiracy. The moment marks the culmination of Django's planned justice.

Garcia dies in the final battle

Garcia dies in the ensuing firefight, paying with his life for his earlier treachery. His sacrifice underscores the personal costs of greed and ambition within the group. Django remains focused on finishing Barry's tyranny.

Django leaves gold for Garcia's wife

Django leaves a sack of gold to Garcia's wife 'for you and the children' as a parting gesture. He acknowledges the human costs of the violence and tries to provide some security for her future. Then he rides away to continue his vigilante path.
