Synopsis: Mexican revolutionaries, determined to be free of European tyranny, hire gunslinger Sabata (Brynner) to rob a transport of Austrian gold in order to buy weapons - and shame the brutal Colonel Skimmel, ruler of the local garrison. The robbery goes well, until the gang discovers that Skimmel has tricked them and kept the gold for himself. But no scheming colonizer is going to keep Sabata from earning his pay, and he decides that this laugh is the last one Skimmel will ever enjoy!
