General Pancho and the Preacher

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. Hes 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

parttime preacher in the killing of a rancher in Lincoln County. These

two unlikely characters start drinking and spinning their stories to each

other. They strike up a friendship that is to last throught the Mexican

Revolution -- until they are separately assassinated down Mejico way.
