Lucky's band of outlaws holds a rich girl for ransom and plans a new series of robberies. Meanwhile, a peasant who was widowed by one of Lucky's men teams up with a Preacher/Bounty Hunter to plot a premature end to Lucky's lucky streak.

A Mexican bandit faces the firing squad - the call to fire about to be made. Suddenly, out of nowhere a lone man appears, killing the entire squad. But this act of mercy was not performed out of kindness or compassion...the stranger has one half of a map that leads to a cache of gold; the outlaw has the other.
