A stylish, morally ambiguous Western where a cynical drifter exploits a village's internal conflicts for profit, built on gunplay, greed, and the aesthetics of calculated violence.

The Man With No Name enters the Mexican village of San Miguel in the midst of a power struggle among the three Rojo brothers and sheriff John Baxter. When a regiment of Mexican soldiers bearing gold intended to pay for new weapons is waylaid by the Rojo brothers, the stranger inserts himself into the middle of the long-simmering battle, selling false information to both sides for his own benefit.
