A mule-riding loner with a new six-shooter and a death wish. 1971 Mexican Western chaos.
A young Cullen Baker rides his mule throughout the old west with his father, when bandits attack them, killing his father. Cullen becomes a loner, again riding a mule through the west and getting into trouble wherever he goes. When a soldier shows him the Colt Dragon revolver, a newly invented six shooter, he becomes obsessed with obtaining this gun as a means to empower himself. After murdering two soldiers and taking their revolvers, Cullen proceeds to rob banks and shoot down anyone who dares confront him.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Part of Mexico's 1970s Western boom, when local studios churned out cheap genre films to compete with fading American TV Westerns.
The Colt Dragon revolver was a real transitional percussion-to-cartridge firearm; the film's gun-nerd obsession predates Tarantino's footnotes by decades.
