Synopsis
Chafing under his dying father's prediction that he is just a fighter without a soul who someday will be beaten by his long-lost brother, brutish Charles Hinges heads west with Jacinta, a dancehall girl, and Augustina, a fortune-teller. They tour frontier towns, with Charles taking on all challengers in no-holds-barred wrestling matches. Charles is undefeated until he engages his brother, David, the town reformer. In his humiliation, Charles feels he has finally found his soul, fears that Jacinta admires him only for his strength, and sends her to David. Meanwhile, Jacinta has been the object of the unwelcome attentions of halfcaste China Jones. Jones is killed, and saloon keeper Phil Beason fastens the blame on David, who is about to be lynched when Charles claims the guilt. Jacinta saves both brothers from the rope with the timely arrival of a posse and Augustina's confession to Jones's murder. Charles reveals himself to David and is reunited with Jacinta.
