Sister Mary survives an Apache massacre. She buries her dead friends, and continues on her journey through the desert to Santa Fe. Madron comes along and takes pity on the stranded nun and agrees to help Sister Mary to Santa Fe. They are shadowed by both a gang of outlaws and the same Apache warriors who committed the massacre. The outlaws threaten to rape Sister Mary but Madron kills them all except Angel who is made to pay allegiance to Sister Mary in exchange for his life. Angel eventually escapes and joins the Apaches who are outsmarted as they watch Madron pretend to kill Mary, bury her, then fights it out with their leader, Sam Red.
