The story

In the late 1870s, when much of the Old West was still under Mexican governance, four people are traveling through the deserts, north of Texas and a three-day ride from Santa Fe. Along with the difficulties of Americans and Spanish Troops, much of the unmonitored areas are controlled by competing tribes of Native Americans such as the Navajo, Apache and Hopi. One is the Scalphunter (Geoffrey Lewis), who says his trade is being a "buffaler" (buffalo hide trader).
