Luciano ‘Lucky Gomez’ is waiting his turn to be shot by a firing squad. At the very last moment, the squad members are shot by a stranger who has been witnessed the proceedings from afar. The stranger is called ‘The Major’ and he gives Lucky the opportunity to face the commander of the firing squad in a duel supervised by himself. The Major has only saved Lucky Luciano's life because he's interested in the half of the treasure map in possession of the Mexican bandit. The two form an uneasy partnership and go off into the desert in search of the fortune and are followed by the military.
