A mysterious and silent gunslinger, carrying a coffin, arrives in a bleak and muddy border town. This desolate place is caught in the crossfire of a brutal feud between racist ex-Confederate soldiers and a group of revolutionaries of Mexican origin. The lone stranger, observing the chaotic violence and lawlessness, quickly demonstrates his formidable shooting skills. His presence attracts the attention of both factions who are eager to recruit his deadly abilities to their cause.

Despite the ongoing conflict, the enigmatic man plays both sides for his own gain, exploiting their mutual mistrust and greed. Utilizing cleverness over outright confrontation, he maneuvers within the volatile environment, forming a tenuous alliance with a prostitute who has her own tragic tale. The gunslinger's motives and the contents of his mysterious coffin remain a puzzle, but it's clear he has a personal agenda that goes beyond the petty rivalries and power struggles of the warring factions.
