action

Former southern soldier Santana wants to avenge his colleagues, including Jimmy Dublin, who died as a result of the betrayal of their commanding officer, Frank Dawson. Therefore Santana transfers the body of Dublin to Springfield, where his sister Jessica lives. The siblings' father was also murdered by strangers, it soon turns out; then Santana recognizes Jessica's fiancé, Louis, his former boss Dawson. He now commands a group of outlaws led by a whip-wielding woman.

Louis / Dawson only wants to marry Jessica because of their ranch, as there is a gold mine on their property. With the help of the colored servant Thomas, Santana succeeds in taking action against the gang, where Thomas and the bandit are killed. In a final duel, he can kill Louis and take his revenge.
