A former British officer, a bounty hunter and a miner tangle over the legendary "Montezuma's golden wheel", a solid gold treasure hidden in the nearby desert. They also covet the officer's wife/slave Margot Kidder. They eventually find the wheel then fight each other over it as they try to get it out of the desert. Beautiful landscapes captured by frequent Scorsese collaborator Michael Chapman, but talky and aloof.
