The Daltons are to be moved to another prison. During a nightly break on the Rio Grande , the carriage they are in is stolen by Mexican desperados, who suspect that it is a treasure. Their leader Emilio Espuelas, more than angry because of the recognized error, wants the four brothers to hang, but Joe is able to convince him that it would be an advantage if they could exchange experiences with each other. Meanwhile, the ambassador of Mexico demands from the governor of Texas that the Daltons be removed from his country, as they already have enough to do with their local criminals: "Everyone sweeps in front of his gate, he has enough filth in front of it!" Lucky Luke hires Luke to travel to Mexico to get the four back, with the stupid dog Rantanplan following him. There he soon learns that the four gangsters are working with Espuelas, who is the most notorious gangster in the area. Unfortunately, his hiding place is well hidden in the mountains, so Lucky Luke devises a ruse and persuades the rich ranch owner Don Doroteo Prieto to hold a fiesta in the hopes of attracting Espuelas. As suspected, he wants to take the opportunity to kidnap Prieto for a ransom. Since he and his own people are too well known there, the Daltons should go there disguised as mariachis . But they accidentally kidnap the disguised Lucky Luke and unintentionally lead Prieto with his people and the local police to the thief's hideout. While Espuelas surrenders without resistance and even admires Lucky Luke's courage, the Daltons flee. Lucky Luke can track her down with the help of Prieto's Chihuahua Rodriguez and bring her back to the prison.
