Hounded by a passel of bounty hunters, smooth-talking bandit Montero and his deaf-mute sidekick Colosso, arrive in town intent on robbing a bank belonging to the smarmy Lucius Perkins. Montero becomes distracted, however, with the plight of lovely music teacher Helen Wardell, who is pining away for the poor, but handsome, dirt-farmer Bill Howard. Things heat up when Perkins, himself enamored of Helen, offers Montero $1250 to kill Howard.
