The film may seem bewildering because the narrative is overlaid with a clutter of symbols and ideas. It is the story of El Topo, a gunslinger who sets out for revenge against the outlaws who slew his wife. During one battle, El Topo is wounded.  His comatose body is found by a strange group of cave dwelling people who take him to their subterranean home. He wakes up from a twenty year sleep to find that he has been cared for by a population of seriously deformed people. He is enlisted to help the clan dig an escape tunnel. Later the mountain people storm out of their confinement and march toward a tiny town where the residents belong to a weird religious cult. When the clan members come into the town, the stage is set for a blood-soaked tragedy.

这部电影让人看得摸不着头脑，里面充满象征与概念。它讲了一个枪手El Topo为被杀害的妻子报仇的故事。在一次战斗中，El Topo受了伤。昏迷中的他被一伙奇怪的穴居人带到地下的家中。他昏睡了二十年，醒来时发现自己被一些非常丑陋的人照料着。他要帮助这些人挖掘一个外逃的地道。后来山民们就从此处蜂拥而出，前往一个小镇，这个小镇的居民具有诡秘的宗教狂热。当山里人进入小镇后，血腥的悲剧发生了。
