Summary:
A Swedish arms dealer with a love for fast money, and a trigger-happy Mexican bandit team up to kidnap a professor who holds the key to a fortune in gold. They find themselves hunted by the American army, stalked by a marijuana-crazed sadist (Jack Palance) and trapped in the middle of a revolution. Can these two enemies blast their way across Mexico together without killing each other first?
