Calvera

As he and his men ride away from their latest visit, Calvera promises to return to loot the village again.

Calvera and his bandits soon arrive, sustain heavy losses, and are run out of town by the gunmen and the villagers working in concert.

Calvera, in his dying breath, asks him, "You came back..

Calvera spares the gunmen's lives, believing that they have learned that the simple farmers are not worth defending; he also fears reprisals from the U.S. Army if he should kill these Americans.

Chico, who is Mexican, follows Calvera back to his camp, pretending to be one of the bandits.

He learns that Calvera must raid the village because he is desperate for food to feed his men.

The group recognizes they will be outnumbered, but they hope that Calvera will move on to an easier village when he sees professional resistance.

They debate their next move, and all but Harry agree to return and free the village from Calvera.

They ride out to make a surprise raid on Calvera's camp, but find the camp empty.
