Posing as a hangman, Mace Bishop (James Stewart) arrives in town with the intention of freeing his brother Dee (Dean Martin) from the gallows. Dee had been arrested for a bank robbery in which Maria Stoner's (Raquel Welch) husband was killed. After freeing his brother, Bishop successfully robs the bank. A posse led by the local sheriff (George Kennedy) and deputy (Andrew Prine) chase them across the Mexican border. Dee takes Maria as a hostage. Despite initial protestations, she soon falls for him. In a final showdown, the bandoleros kill both brothers, but not before being avenged by Maria.
