More on Tuco
Description from Wikipedia:
Tuco Benedicto Pacifico Juan Maria Ramirez ("known as the Rat". In Italian "il Porco", "the pig"), who was "the Ugly" (or "il brutto" in the original Italian), is a character played by Eli Wallach in the spaghetti Western The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. After his moneymaking partnership with Clint Eastwood's character "Blondie" goes awry, he dedicates his life to finding and killing him. After a few close calls, Tuco is finally able to capture Blondie, and makes him walk across a 100 mile desert with no water, while Tuco sits atop a horse protected from the sun by an umbrella.
Through a twist of fate, the two learn a secret: that $200,000 worth in gold is buried in a grave in a cemetery. Tuco finds out the name of the cemetery, while Blondie discovers the name of the grave. The two cross paths with "Angel Eyes," a hired gun and sadistic Union officer, who tortures the name of the cemetery (Sad Hill) from Tuco. At the film's climax, the three men meet at Sad Hill. Blondie writes the name of the grave on a rock in the middle of the graveyard and challenges Angel Eyes and Tuco to a truel.
Blondie shoots Angel Eyes, while Tuco discovers that Blondie unloaded his gun the night before. Blondie directs Tuco to the grave marked Unknown next to Arch Stanton's. Tuco digs and is overjoyed to find bags of gold inside, but is shocked when he turns to Blondie and finds himself staring at a noose. Blondie forces Tuco atop a grave marker and wraps the noose around his neck, binding Tuco's hands before disappearing with his share of the gold. Once he is a safe distance away, Blondie shoots Tuco down from the noose's grasp - leaving him to fend for himself, but with his share of the gold at his feet.
