Set in 1912, Lyedecker (Jim Brown), a black bounty hunter out of Arizona, crosses into Mexico during his search for "Yaqui Joe" Herrera (Burt Reynolds), a bank robber that fled to Mexico after stealing six thousand dollars. Lyedecker finds Herrera held captive by the ruthless Verdugo (Fernando Lamas), a Mexican general who plans to slaughter the area's Yaqui Indians in order to gain control of their land.

M1 Garand

Yaqui Humara (Michael Forest) and some soldiers carry M1 Garand rifles, a rather grave anachronism considering the fact the M1 Garand wasn't designed until the late 1920's and production didn't start until 1936, almost 25 years after the film takes place.
