- In 1914 Mexico, the revolution, led by Pancho Villa, is preventing many Americans from getting their mined-in-Mexico silver across the American border. Tom Kenyon, American manager of the deVargas mine, La Paloma, and his assistant, Tequila, try yo send a shipment through the barricaded lines of both Villa and renegade-army General Barranca. The latter's men get into a skirmish with Villa's forces, and, while they fight it out, Tom hides the silver. Denny deVargas, unknown to his family and to Tom, has joined forces with the outlaw Barrance and has promised to get the silver shipment for him. Denny is captured and imprisoned by Villa. Tom, in his effort to rescue the worthless Denney, is caught by Captain Morales, a Villa aide, who is conspiring against his leader. Morales frees Denny to continue his services for Barranca, and Tom is put in Denny's cell. Sentenced to a firing-squad death by Villa, Tom is released following an appeal by his mother. He is then captured by Barranca's men but is rescued through Tequila's efforts. Tom, who can't seem to avoid anybody, is then embroiled anew with attackers sent by Morales. Somehow, Tom saves the silver and rides to the waiting arms of Dolores de Vargas, his sweetheart.—Les Adams <longhorn1939@suddenlink.net>

Tom's mother waits for his return at home with Dolores de Vargas and Dolores' brother Denny. Denny is eager to join Barranca's army and plans to offer Tom's silver to the general. Meanwhile, the pack train is spotted by both Villa and Barranca. While the two armies fight each other, Tom and Tequila escape with their mules. Having hidden the silver, Tom returns home and urges his mother, Dolores and Denny to flee across the border. They then learn that Denny, wearing the uniform of Barranca's army, has been captured by Villa's men, and Tom and Tequila go after him. Morales, an agent of Barranca's who is acting as a spy in Villa's camp, is warned that no harm must come to Denny before he turns over the silver to Barranca. When Tom shows up at the camp, Morales releases Denny and replaces him with Tom. Villa holds a court-martial, and Tom is condemned to death. Mrs. Kenyon then confronts Villa and demands her son's release. Intimidated by her righteous anger, Villa agrees to release Tom, after he gives his word of honor that he will return after making a visit to his mother. When Tom returns home, Barranca and Denny demand that he show them where the silver is hidden. To rescue Tom and Denny, Tequila attaches firecrackers to his cow and sets them off, which makes Barranca's men believe that Villa's army is approaching. Tom escapes in the confusion and returns to Villa's camp to ask for help. He reveals that Morales is a double agent, and after Villa saves the people of La Paloma, Tom gives him the silver.
