What it’s about. Mexiko, zur Zeit der Revolution: Juan Miranda, Anführer einer Banditenfamilie, trifft auf Sean Mallory, einen irischen Sprengstoffexperten der Armee, der sich auf der Flucht vor den Engländern befindet. Als Juan Seans ausgesprochen nützliche Fertigkeiten in Sachen Dynamit erkennt, überredet er ihn schließlich, sich seiner Truppe anzuschließen, die gerade im Begriff ist, die Bank von Mesa Verde auszurauben. Zusammen mit dem Revolutionsführer Dr. Villega planen sie die Attacke der Bank - die jedoch, wie sich herausstellt, anstelle von Geld nur politische Gefangene beherbergt und die Banditen unfreiwillig zu Helden der Revolution macht.
