On the seething Mosquito Coast Gringo blasts a bandit army sky-high!
Captain Gringo, mercenary par excellence, becomes "General" Gringo to command a ragged banana republic army at war with mountain bandits. Woman trouble isn't far behind, as he runs up against a lady lawyer and a lady photographer who are no ladies at all! But, getting down to military business, Gringo takes the field in a desperate last-ditch campaign against the terror-dealing bandit gang. After all, which is worse: facing death in combat, or in the corruption-riddled capital city where his life isn't worth the price of a stick of dynamite?
