Synopsis/Details
Ex-con Jesse didn't get many breaks. A kind-hearted lady gave him one. Then, she is brutally murdered, when a gang of imprisoned U.S. soldiers escape during an attack by Pancho Villa and go on a killing spree. Jesse wants revenge. He leads a posse into Mexico. A posse with four beautiful prostitutes. Jesse’s gang meets up with the killers and the revolutionary bandit Villa. It eventually leads to a dramatic shootout ending.
This screenplay encompasses actual historic events. They include Pancho Villa’s 1916 raid on Columbus, New Mexico, his battles during the revolution against Carrancista Federales, and the punitive mission into Mexico by General John Pershing to capture Villa. Fictional elements intertwine with these real incidents, involving U.S Army prisoners who escape during the Columbus Raid, invade a brothel, kill four people, and flee into Mexico.
They get conscripted into Villa’s army, while pursued by one of the brothel’s ranch hands and four brave and determined prostitutes.
