In 1867 Mexico, under the oppression of the murderous Austrian Colonel Skimmel, Juarez's revolutionaries are determined to thwart his plans and steal Emperor Maximilian's mythical gold to trade it for weapons. For that reason, the expert sharp-shooter dressed in black, Sabata, and his unlikely ally, the aristocratic con artist, Ballantine, sign up for the dangerous robbery, and ultimately, they succeed in their mission. However, when they both realise that they have been tricked by the evil Skimmel, they plan to steal the precious gold anew, this time, keeping an eye on adversaries who pose as friends, and friends who may be enemies. Will Sabata manage to pull victory out of the hat?
