Plot
Storyline
A low-life bandit and an I.R.A. explosives expert rebel against the government and become heroes of the Mexican Revolution.
When Juan Miranda, a Mexican, is allowed - for once - to board a comfortable stagecoach, he overhears what the upper crust thinks of him and his kind. It doesn't take long, however, before the snobbish passengers are trembling in his presence, for Juan turns out to be a highwayman and the leader of a gang. Shortly thereafter, Juan meets Sean Mallory in spectacular fashion. The Irish ex-revolutionary roars through the countryside on a motorcycle, carrying enough dynamite and nitroglycerin on his person to blow up all of Mexico. Juan is determined to convince Mallory to join him in robbing the bank in Mesa Verde. At first, the Irishman isn't very enthusiastic, but after some initial difficulties, the two end up teaming up. When Mallory finally blows a path open for Juan, he gets a surprise... and is soon celebrated as a revolutionary hero, even though he doesn't believe in the revolution at all.
