Synopsis

Luke, an escaped convict, and Jaroo, an alcoholic fortune seeker, are after the gold supposedly buried in the Mexican fortress of El Condor. Van Jaroo once lived with the Apaches and claims they still follow him wherever he goes. Luke reckons the Apaches are the army he needs to attack the fortress, defended by the Mexican federal army.
