Synopsis
Kid El Macho, an adventurer who is very skilled with cards and his revolver, is instructed by a sheriff to recover a large sum of money, which was stolen after an attack on a stagecoach by the outlaw Hidalgo, a.k.a. "the Duke", and his gang. The Kid starts posing as The Vulture, another outlaw who is actually dead, but with whom Kid bears a strong resemblance, and seeks to infiltrate Hidalgo's gang under his assumed identity. El Macho succeeds in his enterprise by unmasking an unsuspecting banker who was the mastermind responsible for the robbery. The Kid hopes to share the bounty with his lover, the beautiful Kelly, but his adventures are not over yet.
