Notorious bandit El Malo robs the Sierra BIanca Bank in broad dayIight. The outIaw, famed for sharing his "earnings" with the poor, is insuIted when he sees the wanted poster. The reward is a mere $1000 and his strikingIy handsome features have been totalIy misrepresented. Outraged, EI MaIo is determined to teach the sheriff respect. But his plans are wayIaid when he stops at the cantina and is smitten by gorgeous dancer Carmita. Within minutes, the bandit steaIs Carmita from her lover. Humiliated, the spurned paramour hatches a plot to murder El Malo.
