At the beginning of the Twentieth Century in Sonora, Mexico, an ethnic cleansing is being conducted by the Mexican government against the Yaqui Indians. Most of the Yaquis have already been deported to Southern regions and used as slaves, but small groups are continuing to resist the government. The story revolves around a deputy sheriff named Lydecker from Arizona, who accidentally becomes involved in the rebellion, when he crosses the border into Mexico to capture a half breed Yaqui Indian named Joe, who has robbed a bank and bought one hundred rifles with the loot to arm his people. The Yaquis are deported under the pretext that they slow the progress on a railroad. Lydecker is reluctant to join the Yaquis in their fight against the Federales, but falls for their fiery red-headed leader Sarita. The three unite to defeat the Federale forces run by General Verdugo and destroy the railroad run by Grimes.
