In 1911 Mexico, an expatriate American known as Irish Gallagher joins a band of Mexican revolutionaries after the mine he and his partner Marco have struck gold is seized by the corrupt Colonel Colonel Ruiz, and Marco is killed by Ruiz. A band of rebels saves Irish from certain death, with a particularly brave one, Raquel Noriega(/actor/julie-adams), being wounded by gunfire. The rebels aren’t sure about Irish, so they take him back to their leader, Arturo Torres. As they talk, Raquel faints from her injury, and Irish offers to remove the bullet.

Raquel is engaged to marry Arturo Torres, and her sister Elena has been kidnapped. When they go searching for the sister, Raquel and Irish are taken prisoner by Ruiz and locked in a cell. Elena is not a captive after all and says she intends to marry Ruiz. She mistakenly trusts the villainous Ruiz, who coldly executes the mother of one of Arturo’s loyal rebels, Tomas. Irish and Raquel are broken out of jail by the rebels, but Arturo is killed. Irish, realizing how much Ruiz values the gold in the mine, booby-traps it with dynamite and sets off the explosions while Tomas kills Ruiz to avenge his mother’s death. When asked by Raquel why he destroyed his own mine, Irish says there is something he loves more, and they kiss.
