[edit] Plot summary
Danny O'Moore, an Irish lad from New York, has not seen big brother Patrick for eight years. Patrick is said to now own a silver mine in Mexico.
In the town of Border City, Texas, a bandit known as "El Tigre" blows up and robs a bank. Joe Warder of the Texas Rangers is assigned to go to Mexico and bring the thief to justice.
On the trail, bandits attack Danny but he is saved by Joe. They ride on to San Clemente, Mexico, together. A woman there, Carmelita Alvarado, is loved by Patrick but wants nothing to do with him.
Danny is seized by El Tigre's men, but again Joe saves him. Patrick tells the men he has no brother. Patrick later finds Danny and tells him he owes his life to El Tigre, who once saved it.
After being held captive, Danny, Joe and Carmelita flee. A friend who helps them escape is killed by El Tigre, who comes at Danny with a machete. Joe shoots him. El Tigre is revealed to be Patrick in disguise.
The Americans ride off for home, and Carmelita decides to go along with Danny.
