Billy Bilder’s father is dead and Maxwell, supervisor of Esmeralda Ranch, who dreams of setting up his own farm by other people’s sweat, has a hand in it. Tex and Carson take Bilder’s side: kicked out by the mistress and by her hangman assistants, Maxwell tumbles into hell after a duel with Willer! Meanwhile, the Sonora is bloodied by bands of ferocious warriors under the orders of El Rey, a nasty bit of work who lives hidden on Tiburòn Island. The two pards, arriving upon the request of Don Florio Juarez, alcalde of Hermosillo, clash right away with seasoned bands of bandidos.
