The story

During the final stages of the American Civil War, Major Clete Mattson (Joel McCrea), an idealistic Confederate officer, robs a $2 million Union gold shipment. To secure weapons for the failing Confederacy, Mattson travels across the Rio Grande into "Zona Libre" (Free Zone), a lawless, sovereign enclave in Mexico. The territory is ruled by the despotic and corrupt Mexican Federal General Calleja (Pedro Armendáriz), who offers lucrative sanctuary to American outlaws and deserters in exchange for a share of their stolen loot.
