Summary
During the Mexican Revolution, seven women outlaws, most of whom have seen their sons and husbands tortured to death before their eyes, gather with their captive. Their leader, Concha, is convinced that someone is signaling to the Federal troops. Is it the captive, the girl who loves him, or the flirt? As the ring draws tighter around them, Concha devises a means of exposing the traitor, stopping the enemy, and safeguarding their precious storage of ammunition.
