A BULLET FOR THE GENERAL

“Like the Bandit... Like the Gringo... A bullet doesn't care who it kills!”

El Chuncho's bandits rob arms from a train, intending to sell the weapons to Elias' revolutionaries. They are helped by one of the passengers, Bill Tate, and allow him to join them, unware of his true intentions.
