At the height of the Mexican Revolution, a gang of bandits led by the charismatic El Chuncho (a mesmerising Gian Maria Volonté - of DOLLARS films) are stealing weapons to sell them on to rebel 'General' Elias. During a raid on a train, a mysterious gringo, Tate (Lou Castel), assists the bandits by killing the train driver. Chuncho takes instant liking to Tate who insinuates himself into the gang.
