Synopsis

During the days of the California missions, Jose Garcia becomes friends with Luis Lopez, a local Robin Hood determined to redistribute among the poor the loot of the rich. Inspired by Luis, Jose sets out to rob the home of wealthy landowner Don Ortega. On the way, however, Jose gets lost in the desert and is nearly dead when he is found by Don Ortega's aristocratic cousin, Castro Arrellanes, and Castro's daughter Carmen, who take him in and nurse him back to health. Jose quickly falls in love with Carmen, and as a result renounces his plan of robbing the rich. Then, he learns that Luis has made plans to break into Don Ortega's house. Jose manages to stop him, after which Luis reforms and becomes a monk, and Jose and Carmen get married.
