Plot
Rosaura Ventura (Furió) is a rich woman who hires death row inmates to work in her mercury mine. She has Sebastián "El Tuerto" ("The One-Eyed One") Angustias as her right-hand man, a man who earned his nickname when, to defend a showgirl in a low-end cabaret, he was left one-eyed. One day, after some Indians are forced to carry cinnabar from Rosaura's mine, the young Indian Santos (Bravo) is insolent and then subservient to Rosaura, and she spares his life when he steals a cow after he cuts the tongue of a disobedient lieutenant, so the boy wins Rosaura's trust. Rosaura then charges El Tuerto to discover who makes the condemned disappear. He discovers that Santos secretly is the leader of the condemned, and kills him when Rosaura celebrates his birthday.
