A man with a price on his head can spark a lot of ambitions. A woman wants to capture Caine so she can use the $10,000 to free her imprisoned father, and a killer hiding behind a badge simply wants to get rich.

Caine helps a young Indian man who saw his father killed and wants to kill the men who did it and rescue his mother from them.

Caine rescues the hawkers of the cure-all Theodora's Elixir from a hostile crowd, earning the come-hither gratitude of Theodora and the resentment of her jealous male partner.
