In 1848 a dandy named Ceasr de Echague returns to California from the East. Upon his return he finds his former Mexican land under the suppression of the United States Government. A local rebellion by the native Mexicans has been crushed and the Imperialist Yankees have imprisoned and cruelly treated the peasants. Cesar remains a gentleman by day but by night he becomes a masked gunman dressed in black who is out to avenge his fellow countrymen and overthrow the oppressive governor and his army.
