Plot summary
On the eve of one of his son's marriage, the elder MacGregor worried that the bride might be after family fortune, wakes up in the middle of the night to take out a chest of gold ingots and coins and bury it outside their house. Unbeknown to him, he is being secretly watched by bandits. [4] [5]
On the day of the engagement party between his son Gregor and Rosita Carson, the bandit Maldonado, with his gang, rob the MacGregors of their gold which the elder MacGregor buried. They left a note, purporting to be from Frank James, in the hole where the chest of gold was buried. The MacGregor brothers throw themselves in pursuit of Frank James. When they find Frank who is now a run down old man, they are told that he was framed by Maldonado. They then set out again to find Maldonado. [4]
Maldonado summons a traveling dentist to his hideout. Gregor joins the dentist and his blonde daughter, Dolly, on their trip to the hideout. Rosita, upon hearing that Gregor is with the blonde, rides out to confront Dolly in a fit of jealousy. To the delight of onlookers, Rosita defeats Dolly in a fistfight, but her and Gregor are taken prisoner by the outlaws. The remaining MacGregor brothers ride out to Maldonado's hide out to rescue Gregor and Rosita and recover the gold. They escape but are later trapped in an empty cargo train wagon. Soon they are rescued by their parents, the Donovans, a band of Apaches, and other cowboys. During a fight with Gregor, Maldonado is killed. [4]
Reception
Like the first movie about the McGregor family, this sequel is a combination of violence and comedy. The family gold is stolen by a gang of Mexican bandits and it's up to the sons to retrieve it. They also save seven sisters in danger of being abducted (hence the title). Robert Woods is replaced by the relatively unknown David Bailey. Agatha Flori turns in a lively performance as Rosita, in hot pursuit (very hot) of her fiancée after she has heard rumors about him and a voluptuous blonde. [8]
In a contemporary review, Stuart Byron of Variety found the film to be "an acceptably entertaining affair" while noting the film was bloodless and non-violent but had good action scenes directed by Franco Giraldi. [9]
In his 2010 book Spaghetti Westerns, author Hughes describes the movie as a "...cross between broad comedy (with plenty of rambunctious punch-ups between the Scots and Irish over who has the best whisky) and less than humorous violence.” [7]
