Just over the border, along the most rugged stretch of frontier between the United States and Mexico lies an impregnable fortress that holds a fortune in gold, an overwhelming lure for two escaped convicts, a place known as El Condor. In Apache country just after the United States Civil War, authorities on both sides of the border hunt two fugitives from a chain gang, Luke (Jim Brown) and Jaroo (Lee Van Cleef). The hard-bitten desperadoes' only hope is to steal enough gold to buy their way to freedom and a new life. Now with nothing left to lose, the two decide to rob El Condor.
