action
In a mountain landscape in the American Southwest: the classy Esmeralda is molested by Juan Morales while she is bathing. Her brother-in-law John "Slim" Baxter happened to come by and tried to chase the bandit away. Before the latter can pull the trigger on his revolver, he is shot by the beleaguered husband, who also arrives at the scene. Now that Slim must fear the revenge of the gang to which Morales belonged, he is pushed to hide in the mountains. In fact, the head of the Horde Ramon does not wait long to retaliate: he kills Slim's father and kidnaps Esmeralda. Slim is informed about this by his friend Joselito, an old man who likes to drink, and lets the criminal come to his hiding place for a duel. In the exchange of fire, Slim is badly wounded, but Ramon's assumption that he is dead is proven wrong.
The Esmeralda caught in the place is desired by Ramon; she agrees to a marriage proposal if she can see her husband one last time. Since he lives contrary to expectations, she nurses him back to health before returning to Ramon. Slim now joins a crowd around Jack Karson, who is also in the mountains, who still has an account with Ramon, but on the other hand does not trust the foreign intruder. Through a shady informant, this group learns that Ramon's follower Manuel has recently been badly wounded and is waiting in a mountain hut to be removed; Slim takes the opportunity to kill him. Ramon takes this as an occasion for renewed revenge: This time the mother, the colored maid and the remaining assistants also die on the Baxter ranch. John finds the bodies, confronts Ramon and does not survive either. The head villain now believes that he has removed all resistance and plans to marry Esmeralda: When the necessary clergyman arrives in town, however, he turns out to be Slim, who was believed to be dead and whose shooting skills are this time enough to kill the scoundrel and two of his companions and to be reunited with his wife.
