A mysterious drifter, Victor (Fernando Poe, Jr.), looking for a work, secured one at Rancho Maravejo and was tasked to work with Don Agustin’s (Jose Garcia) nephew, Rodrigo (Jess Lapid) and at the same time to help oversee the ranch’s affairs. Because of Rodrigo’s destructive behavior (i.e. killing spree, gambling), he was stripped of his duties and Victor soon took over. Rodrigo’s rape attempt on Don Agustin’s daughter’s Margarita (Rebecca) drove Don Agustin to send him away. Also, Rodrigo’s gambling debts started to pile up and he had no recourse but to negotiate with Max to rob the ranch with the prized race horses in exchange of the debts. Soon after, Max and his men came back and killed Don Agustin and ran off with the jewelries and valuables. Victor was away on an errand on the day of the attack and when he returned he found the place in disarray. He was relieved to find Margarita safe. He took his gun and hunt down Max and his men, and that of Rodrigo and his cohorts. Rodrigo, considered as the fastest gun alive, was the last man to fall.
