During the Mexican Revolution a small town is presided over by a tyrant (Telly Savalas) who commands a grizzled outlaw (Al Lettieri) and his men. Also in town is a priest (Robert Shaw) with a violent past, who has abandoned his clerical duties. A widow (Stella Stevens) arrives with her faithful servant (Dudley Sutton) promising to pay $20,000 in gold if the man who killed her husband is found and delivered to her. Further violence erupts when a brutal army Colonel (Martin Landau) arrives on the scene searching for an elusive rebel leader. The colonel and the priest knew each other years before.
