Caught selling stolen guns, three Confederate soldiers get a reprieve from the firing squad, provided they go into Mexico on a mission to recover stolen gold belonging to the Confederacy.

Hilton, Martin, and Byrnes are three bandits who joined the Southern ranks during the Civil War. They're caught selling guns to the Union and are sentenced to a firing squad. A general saves their lives at the last minute by offering them a chance at freedom by retrieving a fortune in gold. Supervised by a Confederate officer they go in pursuit, but dangerous competitors are in the field.—Anonymous
