New Mexico 1899: The ageing gunslinger Jack Beauregard is tired of killing and wants to escape to Europe. But on the way to his destination, obstacles keep getting in his way - hired killers as well as his brother's murderers. And then, to make matters worse, a greenhorn joins in. Nobody wants to make a name for himself in the Wild West - but above all he wants to see his great role model in full action at the end of his career - against the 150-strong gang that calls itself "The Wild Bunch"...
