Synopsis

British western that narrates the conflict in a pueblecito of Mexico between a clergyman and a powerful local bandit, Anacleto, whose objective it is to dominate the town. Due to his hatred against the Church, Anacleto does everything that is in his power to make the new clergyman go away. He even begins to kill people of the area following the alphabetical order of their last names. Only the patience of the priest will help change the mind of the evildoer Anacleto and restore his faith in God.
