A group of Revolutionists led by a priest and a colonel storm into and massacre an entire town called "Bastarda/Hell" that is controlled by Mexican military units. Years pass on, when a woman named Alvira, who sleeps in a coffin inside a hearse, manned by a supposed deaf mute called Spectre arrives at the town. The town is now under the crooked rule of Don Carlos and an entourage of revolutionists turned bandits. The priest, who helped lead the initial attack on the town, is now an alcoholic who doesn't take too lightly to Savalas' dictatorship, though he tolerates it for the sake of the peasants of the village. With Alvira's arrival in town, she offers Don Carlos a reward for the deliverance of her husband's murderer and wishes to place the murderer's body in the hearse she rests in. She believes the killer is named "Aguila", a name that is respected and protected by the peasants including the priest. But she is not the only one searching for Aguila. The colonel, now a traitor to the revolution, has returned to the town as an army colonel in the Mexican army and is searching for the same person, as he believes Aguila to be the leader of the revolution.
