Movie Info

The disreputable leader of a group of bandits, El Gaucho (Douglas Fairbanks), is thrust into the role of hero after an even more dastardly local strongman, Ruiz (Gustav von Seyffertitz), takes over the Andean village that El Gaucho and his men have used as their base. But after regaining the town for his own selfish uses, El Gaucho has a showdown with the Padre (Nigel De Brulier) and undergoes a spiritual transformation when confronted with the holy powers of a sacred shrine.
