Histoire
An American bartender named Bennie (Warren Oates) and his prostitute girlfriend Elita (Isabel Garcia Lopez) learn about a $1 million bounty on the head of Alfredo Garcia, a gigolo who was involved in an affair with the rancher's daughter that resulted in her death. Bennie sees this as an opportunity to improve their lives and sets off with Elita to collect the reward. They follow leads provided by two bounty hunters, Midget (Robert Burton) and Quill (Gig Young), who initially tried but failed to claim the prize themselves. Along the way, Bennie and Elita encounter various dangers and challenges in the Mexican underworld as they search for Alfredo Garcia's body.
