A defeated Colonel Zeta, from Pancho Villa’s forces, reaches a town controlled by Carranza’s men. There, he imprisons and orders the execution of Colonel Zúñiga, his former ally, and several of his men—including the lover of La Cucaracha, a female soldier who leads a group of armed women. The plot is further complicated by the arrival of Isabel, a bourgeois woman who has been forced to join the revolutionary struggle.
