Plot

El Malo robs the mayor of Sierra Blanca, Seth Landport (who is actually an outlaw) to help poor people and falls in love with Carmita, the entertainer at an inn. After capturing Seth following a stagecoach robbery, El Malo reveals that he is the Robin Hood-type robber, leading to his own arrest and the hatred of Carmita. A friend finally helps El Malo escape, and he takes Carmita with him.[2]
