content

The young Mexican Peon Chako is hunted and almost hanged by a group of Americans because the seduction of young Susanna was attached to him. However, he manages to escape and return to Mexico. The experienced bounty hunter Slim pursues him and wants to collect the premium for Chako. He catches him, but is tricked by him and left behind in the desert. Chako has meanwhile arrived in San Rosario, where he is revered as a hero; only the jealous Asuncion sees it differently. She has him thrown in jail. However, the corrupt official receives a higher price from the American, who has meanwhile also arrived.

Meanwhile, the large landowner Don Felipe has two men removed who stand in the way of his business; he lets henchman Sanchez do the dirty work and then shift the blame on Chako. So Chako is back in prison; but Slim uses the confusion of a big festival to free him and so forestall the murderous gang of the now hired Cherockee.

Slim is now teaming up with Chako; The two manage to switch off Sanchez, who has meanwhile killed Don Felipe, and to restore peace in this area. Slim delivers Sanchez to prison and Chako to Asuncion.

Remarks

The film contains material from the film Sporchi Dollari , started by screenwriter Garrone as a director, which remained unfinished due to financial difficulties.
