Plot
editAfter the tragic death of her father, who had been ambushed and killed years ago, Rosario returns to the ranch that had belonged to him. Rosario arrives with the desire to meet "El Siete Machos" ("The Seven Macho Men"), an outlaw who in the style of Robin Hood distributes the loot of his robberies among the poor, called like that because "he possesses the courage of seven macho men". Along the way, Rosario meets Margarito, a naive but rogueish ranch hand who looks identical to El Siete Machos.
