A drifter named Django walks through the wasteland dragging a coffin, when he comes upon a woman being whipped by a group of Mexican bandits. The woman named Maria is rescued by Django who shoots and kills her tormentors. Django and Maria arrive in a semi-ghost town, where only the saloon and the brothel, owned by Nathaniel, are still open. Major Jackson, who charges protection fees from the remaining citizens, rounds his gang of KKK type henchmen up to face Django. The deadly gunman opens his coffin which contains a machine gun and kills most the bandits but not Jackson. Then a mercenary and acquaintance of Django, General Hugo Rodriguez, arrives in town, and Django proposes a bold plan to steal Jackson's gold and split it between them. When Django is betrayed, he steals the gold from Hugo with the help of Maria. They are chased by Hugo and his men, while Jackson organizes with the Mexican army to trap Hugo. When Rodriguez eventually catches up he shoots Maria and crushes Django's hands. General Hugo in turn is massacred by Jackson and the Mexican Army when the bandits return to Mexico. After killing Nathaniel Jackson finds Django in the cemetery but has the tables turned on him and his five remaining henchmen and are all killed by the resourceful gunman.
