Synopsis
When the president of the Central American republic of Lorento approaches death, his friend General Braga writes the president's son, "Fighting Bob" Rensaler, a college student in America, that Marshall Mendoza intends to become the dictator with the help of the revolutionary leader Ladero, who loves Bob's sweetheart, Dulcina Garnia. After Bob and two friends arrive in Lorento, Ladero's men kidnap Dulcina and confine her to a monastery to force her to marry Ladero. Dulcina's maid tells Bob, who forces Riaz, one of the kidnappers, to reveal Dulcina's whereabouts. After Dulcina escapes with the aid of a priest about to perform the marriage, Riaz tries to assault her in a telegraph station, but she shoots him. When Bob arrives, Ladero orders his men to fire on the station. After the president dies, Ladero's forces are routed in the city, and Braga's soldiers rescue Bob, his friends and Dulcina. Later, Bob, proclaimed president, marries Dulcina.

General Pancho Villa, who made his federal district just south of Juarez, granted carte blanche rights to the production. His offer to play a part was declined. Rodriquez Gonzale, Villa's social secretary, provided arms and riding accoutrement for the principal actors.
