Synopsis

Having failed in their attempt to steal the crown jewels of Tehran, Tex and Ronald, an American and an Englishman, join fellow gang member Mike, fugitives Jahan and Giorgio, and a German aristocrat, "The Baron," in planning a new caper. Pursued into the desert by police, the sextet enters a village that has been plagued by bandit raids ever since the bandit leader, Malik, was hanged there. After offering to protect the townspeople, the thieves meet Zari, Malik's mistress, who, along with the dead leader's successor, Nazar, is after Malik's amulet, which reveals the location of hidden treasure. Following the kidnaping and torture of Ronald, Tex and his men raid and burn down the bandits' camp, but Nazar is killed and the map destroyed. Zari then decides to join Tex and the other survivors on their next adventure.
