In Carteville, a small town in the United States bordering Mexico, lives a family of Mexicans made up of Don Diego's the father, and his children Manuel and Lisa. Also living with them is Ricardo, a young American orphan adopted by Diego, who they have nicknamed "Gringo". One night, three masked figures attack the farm killing Diego, and looting it of bags of gold he has collected over years of hard work. Gringo now seeks to discover the true identity of the criminals who have terrorized the entire area for years: they turn out to be the sheriff, Steadman, the owner of the saloon and a Mexican horse trader named Guardo. Steadman, filled with remorse, flees but is killed accidentally by the sheriff. Only Gringo stands against the gang and succeeds with his cunning and courage to rid them from the country.

  2. I didn't recognize the actor who played Papa Martinez. If you recognize him let me know and I'll add him to the post. Tom Betts
