Three wicked whiskey dealers, hunted down by the pards after their umpteenth misdeed, sell a batch of stolen horses and go to the ranch of the wicked bandolero, Don Mariano, to offer him a beautiful young girl who has just been kidnapped... The hacienda, attacked by the rangers and by the Apaches, will be their grave! Months later, during storm on the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, the four pards save the life of two Pueblo shepherds and disperse a herd of wolves, getting a squad of soldiers out of trouble: amid thousands of dangers, Tex and Jack escort the soldiers to the new outpost of Fort Necessity
