Overview: At the beginning of the 1913 Mexican Revolution, greedy bandit Juan Miranda and idealist John H.

When it turns out that the government has been using the bank as a hiding place for illegally detained political prisoners -- who are freed by the blast -- Miranda becomes a revolutionary hero against his will.
