Mexico 1914. The revolution was in full, bloody spate ... Zapata held the south; Pancho Villa held the north.Mexico City was caught in the pincer grip of the rebel armies.

In a welter of blood and a hail of death-dealing lead, they must avert the most vicious and cunning plot yet to rob the people of their chance of freedom.

And when the jaws swung shut, they were left to escape the way they knew best... by fighting clear!THE GRINGOS... FOUR MEN WHO KNEW HOW TO KILL. AND HOW TO DIE!

It should have been easy—collecting a shipment of arms in El Paso and running them south of the border to the rebel bandit, Pancho Villa. But in the blood and darkness of revolution nothing is as easy as it seems. Betrayed on all sides, the leader of the Gringos feels the raw rope of a hangman's noose around his neck. It takes the other Gringos all their furious courage and firepower to save him ... except that none of them can ever be saved.
