action
The film is set in the Italian region of Calabria in the mid-19th century. The gangster Rocco Gravina and his gang attack a stagecoach, rob it and kill the travelers. Among the victims is Dina Franco, who was on the way to see her brother Antonio. He swears bloody vengeance. In a remote homestead he meets Maruzza and falls in love with her. With their help, he manages to get into the criminal camp. After gaining Rocco's trust, he is accepted into the gang.
The Englishwoman Parker, who wants to report on the famous robber captain, is currently staying in the camp. At Antonio's urging, she reveals the names of the gang members. Miss Parker has to pay for her carelessness with her life.
Rocco now knows Antonio's true identity. He's now - completely on his own - dealing with Rocco and his six cronies. Little by little, he successfully asserts himself against all seven. After the gang is done, Antonio wants to start a new life with Maruzza.
