General Pancho and the Preacher
Pancho Villa in Exile
Pancho Villa is in exile, improbably hiding out in a Southwestern U.S. town, recuperating from a leg wound he received during his recent incursion into American territory at Columbus, New Mexico -- just down the road a bit. During this period he has gone from a highly regarded revolutionary general to a desperado, hunted down by both the U.S. and Mexico.
The Saloon Encounter
He's not worried. In the saloon, he meets an American circuit rider, a preacher on horseback, who also happens to be running from lawmen. Sheriff’s deputies want to question the part-time preacher in the killing of a rancher in Lincoln County.
The Friendship
These two unlikely characters start drinking and spinning their stories to each other. They strike up a friendship that is to last through the Mexican Revolution -- until they are separately assassinated down Mejico way.
