While the pards and the men of the Roswell expedition work with a pick to bring the submerged Aztec temple to light, in search of the fabulous treasure contained there, a cloud of Mexican desperados allied with the unknown saboteur is ready to attack! Tex and his companions avert the threat and on the summit of the disquieting teocalli, the traitor’s mask finally falls! A while later, near the Rio Bravo, the pards hunt down two infamous whiskey merchants and their bloodthirsty mescalero partner: three dangerous ugly mugs who are smugglers, thieves, murderers and kidnappers of young girls.
