A Fistful of Dollars
Following the arrival of a mysterious stranger, Piripero is ordered to make three coffins when the man confronts a group of gunmen hired by John Baxter, the local sheriff. When the men refuse to apologise to Joe for scaring his mule, he guns them down, killing all four. Joe then calmly returns to the inn, along the way correcting himself to Piripero and stating that he would need four coffins made.
Later, during a gunfight with Don Miguel Rojo and his gang, the stranger rescues Silvanito, the innkeeper, from a brutal interrogation. With Joe engaged with Rojo and his thugs, the injured Silvanito is dragged away by Piripero.
