Johnny Donald Tenorio, a cynical seducer of women, who has led a tortured life, discovers he is actually the son of Don Diego Tenorio, a wealthy Mexican landowner. He decides to claim his rightful heritage and usurp his half-brother Don Francisco. Avoiding a shotgun wedding, John accompanied by his trusty servant Morenillo, travels south to Mexico and along the way he spurns some Mormon women who then hire a Danite to kill him. In search of vengeance and riches Johnny manages to deflower women and make enemies all along the way until he finally meets his match when the Mormon Danite assassin catches up to him. With the help of a stone statue John gets his comeuppance in the end.
