" LAJITAS"

Set in 1889 west Texas, two retired Texas Rangers face the challenge of a powerful Mexican general who holds an old friend for ransom.  

 

In a wild scheme to lure the Mexican into Texas, the two devise a plan to rob the general's bank in Ojinaga with the help of revolutionaries fighting against him.  The raid on the bank ends in a bloody shoot out but the Texans manage to get away with a bag full of the Mexican's money.  They make it across the border and wait for the general to come to them with the hostage.  

 

The plan backfires on the ex-Rangers when the Mexican sends his men into the tiny village of Lajitas, Texas with orders to kill everyone and recover his money.  After a fierce gun battle, the two manage to rescue their friend and eventually dupe the general into returning to Mexico with a bag full of bogus bank notes.
