When Quintero, a Mexican revolutionary leader, is left to rot in jail by the forces of President Diaz, it's up to his subordinate, Max, to bust him out. With $600 in hand, he crosses the border into America and hires Chris Adams, a mercenary of considerable skill, who uses the rest of the cash on more hired guns. After the team is rounded out by experts on close-combat fighting, explosives, and knife-throwing, they set off to free Quintero.
A Mexican revolutionary, Chico, recruits a group of American gunslingers to help defend his village from a tyrannical landowner. The ragtag team, led by Chris Adams, must overcome their own differences and the superior firepower of the villain's forces. They face a moral dilemma when they realize the villagers are not as innocent as they first appeared. Ultimately, they must decide if the fight is worth the sacrifice.
