Storyline

Pulled into the Mexican Revolution by his own greed, Texas gunrunner & pilot Lee Arnold joins bandit-turned-patriot Pancho Villa & his band of dedicated men in a march across Mexico battling the Colorados & stealing women's hearts as they go. But each has a nemesis among his friends: Arnold is tormented by Fierro, Villa's right-hand-man; and Villa must face possible betrayal by his own president's naiveté. Written by Steve83

Quotes

[Villa has ordered Fierro to ride in the airplane to prevent Lee from flying away]
Rodolfo Fierro: No.
Pancho Villa: What do you mean, "No"?
Rodolfo Fierro: I mean "No".
Pancho Villa: Why not?
Rodolfo Fierro: Because! Because... Because I don't think he is a good pilot!
Pancho Villa: Hmmm... You are probably right. But it doesn't matter. If he is no good, you shoot him and fly it yourself.
Rodolfo Fierro: Me?
Pancho Villa: Of course! Any child could fly one of these things.
Rodolfo Fierro: You could fly it?
