Return of Sabata (Italian: È tornato Sabata ... hai chiuso un'altra volta, or roughly translated as "Sabata is back ... to end another time") is a 1971 Spaghetti Western film directed by Gianfranco Parolini. The third film in The Sabata Trilogy, it features the return of Lee Van Cleef as the title character, which he had played in the first film, Sabata, but was replaced by Yul Brynner in the second film, Adiós, Sabata, due to a scheduling conflict.

[edit] Plot

Sabata, a former Confederate army officer and steely eyed, quick-drawing gunman, is working for a travelling circus as a stunt marksman. The circus comes to a small Texas town, where a former subordinate officer from the army is running a crooked casino. The man owes Sabata money from sometime ago. Then the circus manager runs off with the circus funds, so Sabata decides to stay in town and try to collect on the debt from his friend. Sabata then runs into conflict with the town's land baron, McIntock, who imposes high taxes on gambling, drinking and prostitution.
