The infamous Mexican bandit Zococa and his mute Apache sidekick Tahoka were broke, but who would hire them? The answer lay in the border town of Rio Concho, where the pair were offered $1,000 to kill a young rancher, although Zococa certainly had no intention of killing anyone in cold blood. Intrigued by the assignment, Zococa and Tahoka headed off to the intended victim's smallholding, only to hear a beautiful woman in distress. Zococa investigated and that was when the trouble really started. Soon the bandits were enticed into a tangled web of intrigue, with death stalking them at every step.
