Western
Out of work cowpoke Bud Eugen comes across Marta, a mute
sixteen-year old Mexican girl whose family has been killed
by Indians. Bud reluctantly takes her along, even though
he’s never had to accommodate another person in his simple
life. He’s unable to find anyone willing to take her. In
spite of his prejudices, Bud grows to like the spunky girl
(and her excellent cooking). Eventually, they both find work on a border ranch. Here, the
relationship between the girl and the young cowboy
hesitantly grows. But banditos raid the ranch, kidnapping
the rancher’s daughters and Marta. Bud, with twelve other
men, pursue the banditos into the most desolate reaches of
Mexico. Ambushes and battles with banditos, Rurales, and
traitors are constant, and the brutal weather is as much a
threat as the man-made perils. Life and death choices are
made at every turn as one side gains the advantage, then the
other. The rancher’s daughters are rescued, and the exhausted party
turns back. But Bud presses on alone, against insurmountable
odds – determined to fulfill an unspoken promise to Marta.
