Once upon a time, in a small village, a little girl fell to what seemed like certain death. But she did not perish: instead a halo surrounded her body, worshippers prayed near the site, and the child survived. Locals built a shrine where this magical event occurred, and there the pious made offerings of gold. This heavenly wealth attracts both the unsavory Ruiz and the Gaucho, who's a wanted -- but decent -- man with a price of 10,000 pesos on his head. The two ultimately confront each other in a number of exciting scenes filled with acrobatic hand-to-hand combat... and a wild, all-out cattle stampede.
