action

Disguised as a leper , Blackie and his gang, which includes Albert, John, Sucre, Vincent Navajo and Kate, steal half a million dollars from a bank, leaving a lot of dead. Vincent is caught in the chase by the townspeople and hanged. The townspeople then hire a stranger for $ 10,000 to recover the robbery and kill the bandits. In their hiding place, they realize that the money is gone. To identify the thief, they go to a taverna in the desert, where they treat the weak young Bill as their servant. The gang's mutual suspicions slowly decimate them: Kate kills John; Albert is killed by Navajo, who leaves the group with a woman. Meanwhile, former officer Sucre, suffering from tuberculosis, and Vincent's brother are teaching young Bill to shoot so that he can carry out Sucres' plans; he knows about Blackie's involvement in the case. During the fight between the two, the money hidden in a chair is revealed. The betrayed Kate tries to kill Blackie, but dies herself. Sucre feels the approaching death and gets Bill to kill him. Before that, he made him promise to bring the money back and bury Vincent in Mexico.
