After pulling a robbery, Santiago and his partner are fired upon and the partner dies from his wound. Santiago hires a young land-owner, Maunel Lopez, to take him to town, where he delivers to loot to a fence, Guntz. The latter tries to cheat Santiago and he then takes it all by force. He and Manuel go for a time on the town before returning to Manuel's farm. Manuel, having a taste of the good life, plots to kill Santiago. Manuel's wife, Maria, is shocked and fed up and begs Santiago to leave and take her with him. As they start to leave, the Police and Guntz show up and take Manuel and attempt to make him talk by threatening to hang him. Santiago intervenes and shoots Guntz and is mortally wounded himself, but manages to send Manuel and Maria on their way before he goes off to die alone.
