Pike (played by William Holden) is a failed robber who, along with his accomplices, not only bungled a bank robbery but also became the target of bounty hunter Thornton (played by Robert Ryan). Luckily, he received help from the young Indian, Angel (played by Jaime Sánchez), which allowed him to escape. Following Angel, Pike and his crew arrived at the Mexico border, where they encountered the brutal and violent warlord Mapache (played by Emilio Fernández) and his gang. Mapache had a history filled with hatred and bloodshed involving Angel. To pass through Mapache's territory, giving up Angel became the only and reluctant choice. Pike intended to lead his brothers to rescue Angel, but unfortunately, it was too late as Angel had already been killed. A fierce battle between the grieving Pike and Mapache was about to begin.
