The story
In 1909, near the Mexico-United States border, Martha McCandles runs a massive ranch with the help of her sons Jeff, Michael, and James. The Fain Gang (The Fain Brothers, the Devries Brothers, John Goodfellow, Kid Duffy, Breed O'Brien, Pop Dawson, and Trooper) attacks the ranch, slaying many members of the staff. Jeff kills the elder of the Devries brothers but is badly wounded; his son, Jacob ("Little Jake") is kidnapped before the gang flees to Mexico, leaving behind a ransom note for $1 million.
