Part devil, part legend and all man, Boss (former football star Fred Williamson) is an ex-slave who’s “decided to hunt white folks for a change,” becoming a bounty hunter and setting out on the trail of fugitive outlaw Jed Clayton (William Smith). With his comic sidekick Amos (D’Urville Martin), he rides into the town of San Miguel, finds that it has no sheriff and takes the job himself.

Psychotronica Vol. 1 – Delinquent Schoolgirls/Dream No Evil
DELINQUENT SCHOOLGIRLS: Our protagonists in this K-Mart budgeted cinematic carrion are escapees from an insane asylum! One is an ex-baseball player turned rapist, another is gay, and the ringleader is a low-rent impressionist. When they stumble upon an all-girls school, antisocial behavior with these siliconed “students” ensues, but with a twist – the busty babes know karate! Dream No Evil: Don’t pay any attention to the turtleneck-sweatered snobs who demand that the negative to this classic be burned. It does have a script, kind of, even if it appears to have been written as they filmed. A deranged young woman searches for her father, and every time the continuity becomes too confusing a narrator comes on to save the day with “explanations.” With lines like, “your duck is bleeding really badly,” you can’t pass this up! 1972|89 min|Color|1.85:1/widescreen|NR
