action

Lash and a business partner take over a silver mine near the Mexican border. The carriage they are traveling there in is attacked by the Monteiros gang. He negotiates with Lash: He can survive if he shoots his colleague. Lash survives and unscrupulously brings old Johnny, who lives on a farm near the mine, to the brink of ruin by intimidating the people of the area so that nobody wants to work for the old farmer anymore. So Lash wants to keep the farm's price down until he can take it over well below its value. In a few months he will become the most influential and richest man in the area, but also one that everyone trembles.

One day the horse tamer Buccaroo arrives in the small town to which Johnny's farm belongs and which Lash controls. He works for Johnny, despite all odds. When Johnny dies in a robbery soon after, Buccaroo gathers a group of people to take action against Lash. Monteiro then returns. In a protracted struggle on two fronts, Buccaroo succeeds in eliminating Monteiro just like Lash, revealing his identity to the latter: he is the son of the partner who was murdered in the coach robbery by Lash.
