In 1899 near the Mexican border.
In a village named Sollima, seven men have settled, seven
‘Triggermen’, seven gunmen who decided to retire in this backwater town.
Meanwhile on the east coast, wealthy and influential
businessmen, heads of the largest industries are meeting. They know that the
new century will arrive soon and a new age will begin. A golden age. They have
invited a journalist, Mr. Wilton to this meeting who they know as an old time
journalist who has worked for many years for his newspaper. He tells them that
their world is dying. The Indian wars are over and civil peace is in place. But
businessmen see into the future. They hope to conduct their business in these
lands and especially in Texas. And to settle there, they must end the way of
the outlaws who are still living there. The army cannot act so they are seeking
ideas.
Wilton has something in mind and actually in hand: they
speak of these seven men, these seven retired killers. If you put prices on
their heads for a large sum, many desperados and outlaws may go after them and
given their reputation, it could make quite a fuss.
The businessmen accept this idea. In Sollima, the seven
gunmen do not know what to expect ...
