New Mexico. El Indio, leader of a ferocious band of outlaws, is freed by his men from a Mexican prison. During his escape, he ruthlessly kills the prison guards and captain, leaving only one soldier alive so he can tell everyone what he saw.
Meanwhile, in another part of the West, a bounty hunter, the Monk, so called because of his habit of using only his left hand, leaving his right free for shooting, travels the country in search of the most “rewarding” criminals in the region. Like him, Colonel Douglas Mortimer, a former Southern officer with refined manners but a skilled bounty killer, is taking on the same task. Although in different locations, both men have set their sights on the Indio’s rich bounty, but while for the Monk it’s only a matter of money, the Colonel wants it for another reason.
The Indio joins his comrades and immediately concocts a plan to storm the El Paso bank, the most impenetrable and secure in the state, explaining to his initially suspicious followers that it contains a carved cabinet that conceals a safe containing no less than half a million dollars in cash, the existence of which he learned from the builder, a craftsman he met during his time in prison and killed during his bloody escape.
Both the Monk and the Colonel find themselves in El Paso to closely monitor the gang’s activities: the Monk, thanks to a young boy who gives him information, discovers the presence of the Colonel in the town, and begins to follow him and obtain information about him from the Prophet, an old pioneer who, incidentally, knows Mortimer well. During a moment of apparent calm, the colonel finds part of the Indio gang in town and, wanting to test their intentions, lights a match on the hump of Wild, a dangerous criminal. Determined to remain the only one to claim the Indio’s bounty, the monk challenges the colonel to a duel in a nighttime test of pistol skills. During the confrontation, the monk first shoots off the colonel’s hat, who returns the favor by shooting the younger, more impetuous gunman several times. After the confrontation, the two men, having noted their identical abilities, agree to collaborate and share the money obtained from the bounty of the Indio and his followers: during the planning, the colonel, colder and more rational than the Monco, convinces him to infiltrate the ranks of the Indio, escaping one of his men, Sancho Perez, held in a Mexican prison, and thus reach him.
Although the two gunmen know the gang’s objective, namely the bank in El Paso, they do not know the whole plan. Thus, despite the double blow of the Monco and the ambush set by the two bounty killers in the city to catch the criminals in the act and eliminate them, the Indio, through a stratagem, manages to take the safe and escape with the loot. At this point, the Monk would like to dissolve the partnership with the Colonel and pursue the criminals alone, but once again, the former officer, more rational than his partner, convinces him to join forces with Indio and continue the joint action. The gang flees east to a seedy village called Agua Caliente, where Indio has decided to hide from the authorities. The Monk and the Colonel meet again in the village, to the surprise of the former, who had thought he could deceive the latter by changing the direction of escape; upon the gang’s arrival at the local tavern, the Colonel is recognized by the Hunchback, who challenges him to a duel in revenge for the humiliation he suffered in El Paso, and he is killed. Posing as a professional thief interested in the same heist, Mortimer offers the Indian help in opening the safe, in exchange for a cash reward. The money, however, is stored in a safe to which Indio has the key. During the night, the Colonel and the Monk go simultaneously to the warehouse where the safe is located and steal the money. But the cunning and suspicious Indio discovers the true intentions of the two allies and has them beaten to a pulp by his men. Thinking he can exploit them to thwart the rangers’ investigations, the Indio decides not to immediately kill his prisoners because they have previously managed to hide the loot from the burglary. Out of greed, the Indio, in cahoots with his faithful El Niño, believes he can only divide the entire loot between the two of them. After freeing the Monk and the Colonel, the Indio blames a member of the gang for the escape. The ruthless outlaw puts his companions to flight, who are soon eliminated one by one by the two Indians during a shootout in the village.
Indio’s plans are thwarted at the last moment by Groggy, who kills el Niño and demands his share of the loot. But the money is no longer in the safe, and the Indio has no choice but to come out of hiding to face his destiny.
Douglas Mortimer thus manages to deliver the long-awaited duel with the Indio, thanks to the unexpected help of the Monk who, holding his rifle on his right arm and a music box clock in his left hand, waits like them for the music to end for the showdown. In the end, Colonel Mortimer kills the Indian but does not accept a single dollar of the bounty he has already received; The final analysis will explain why: the colonel wanted to avenge his sister (with whom the Indio was madly in love) and her husband, victims of the outlaw who, dizzy after spying on them from their bedroom window while they were kissing, killed the man and raped the woman who, during the rape, killed herself by shooting herself in the side with the Indio’s gun. The money went to the Monco who, after collecting all the lucrative corpses, also made the stolen half a million dollars his own, taking it from among the branches of a tree, where it had remained since the two partners were discovered, in order to return it to the El Paso bank and collect the reward.
