Synopsis:

Based on a popular "corrido" depicting the actual events of June 1901. Cortez, a Mexican cowhand working the ranges around San Antonio, kills a sheriff in self defense as he's about to be arrested in a case of mistaken identity. Thus begins an 11-day manhunt as Cortez flees on horseback from Gonzales to the Mexcian border.
