SYNOPSIS:

Seventeen-year-old ranch hand JESSE is thrown into prison, for accidentally killing the sheriff who murders his parents. In 1916, he emerges into the early 20th Century after fifteen years, at the age of 32. Jesse is still raw and idealistic, and he must learn to survive in this new world.

After he's the victim of a pickpocket, Jesse hops onto a train without paying, and dodges the conductor. He meets Blanche, a kindly madam, who runs a combination brothel, casino, and ranch in Columbus, New Mexico. Blanche befriends Jesse and gives him a job at her ranch. They have a brief affair, but soon their relationship develops into mutual respect and a boss-employee friendship.

Among Jesse's duties: protect the brothel when it operates. He manages to keep order among the girls and the outlandish assortment of customers, including a sadomasochist, who threatens to use a whip on a hooker when she refuses to beat him.

As he goes about his ranch chores and milks the cow, he meets Diane, one of the hookers. They impress each other with their sharpshooter skills, and there is an instant mutual attraction.

Just when Jesse feels like he's found a real home, tragedy strikes. A group of ruthless soldiers from the nearby army fort, who are bound for prison, bust out of the guardhouse, when Pancho Villa leads a raid against the compound.

The prisoners are lead by Bullis, a sadistic brute, convicted for the rape of a young Indian girl. They rush to the brothel and storm it. Jesse does his best to defend the ranch, but he's outnumbered and outgunned. Bullis kills Blanche and murders one of the hookers. They rob the place and make their way into Mexico.

The army sends General John Pershing on a mission across the border to capture Pancho Villa. But, they refuse to go after the escaped soldiers.

Jesse decides to pursue them into Mexico – and he has four unlikely companions, who insist on joining him - hookers who demand revenge for the murders.

The prisoners go through Mexico. A band of Villa's men surrounds them, and they're forced to join his army. Eventually, Bullis shoots Pancho Villa in the leg. The gang manages to get away, and they ride further south.

Jesse undergoes a swift transformation from inexperienced youth to hardened cowboy. The hookers show they are independent and tough, especially when they get into a barroom brawl with some rowdy Mexicans, but Jesse still has to protect them at times during their rugged journey.

Eventually a romance develops between Jesse and Diane.

As the heroes continue to chase Bullis and the others, they run into Pancho Villa himself. When he realizes they're after the same man who shot him, Villa sympathizes with their cause and assigns an aging caballero to help them. One of the hookers decides to stay with Villa and become one of the many “wives” he has throughout Mexico.

The prisoners ride into a small village. When a priest tries to convince them to leave, Bullis murders him. They terrorize the townspeople and take over the saloon.

Jesse's group catches up with them. A ferocious gun battle erupts, and only Bullis, Jesse, Diane, and another hooker manage to survive.

Jesse captures Bullis. They try to bring him back to America to face his crimes, but townspeople intervene, pounce on Bullis, and beat him to death.

The heroes ride back to the U.S., escorted by one of Pershing's army patrols, who are unaware of the harrowing adventures Jesse's band has gone through.
