Plot
Jack Rutherford has returned to his ranch in Texas after soldiering in the Spanish–American War. Because he was presumed dead, his wife Rozaline remarried a Mexican revolutionary leader named Simon Fuegus. Rozaline also sold Jack's ranch and belongings to buy weapons for Simon's band. Jack travels to Mexico to get his share of the proceeds of the sale but gets nothing. Taking matters into his own hands, Jack decides to raise income by kidnapping Simon for $10,000 ransom to be paid either by Simon's band or the Mexican Federal Government who wish to get their hands on Simon.

Production
In 1967, Hanna-Barbera was acquired by Taft Broadcasting. Iwao Takamoto recalled that Taft was thinking of getting rid of their animation operations with Joe Barbera using the opportunity for the studio to begin live action feature film productions. The film was shot in Mexico and was the feature film debut of Alex Karras. Hal Needham was stunt coordinator on the film.
