Vera Cruz plot
"The Giants Battle In The Biggest Spectacle Of Them All!"
The year is 1866. Former Civil War soldier Benjamin Trane and outlaw Joe Erin offer their services to the highest bidders. Both travel to Mexico and are ordered by Emperor Maximillian to escort Duchess Marie Duvarre through the insurgent territory to the port city of Vera Cruz. When Trane and Erin discover that the Duchess is carrying a cargo of gold pieces worth three million dollars in her stagecoach, they decide to devise a plan to steal this gold cargo. Trane wants to hand the gold to the insurgents, but Erin wants to keep the loot for himself.
