Rosario, the rancher’s niece, returns after ten years and hires Margarito, a ranch hand who falls for her. When a runaway horse endangers her, she is saved by Seven Men, a Robin‑Hood outlaw who robs the rich to help the poor. Unbeknownst to all, the Seven Men is Margarito’s twin brother, prompting a series of comic mix‑ups throughout the film.
