Gann agrees to kill Sheriff Hilton, José's enemy, and catches and tames a wild horse which he names El Sang'rito. Gann falls in love with Clia, Hilton's daughter, and spares her father. After many adventures, he rescues Clia from abductors with the help of his horse, and successfully defends her father from a gang of gunmen. Gann wins the affections of Clia and she agrees to become his wife.
