Barbarosa Page #3

Synopsis: Karl Westover, an inexperienced farm boy, runs away after unintentionally killing a neighbor, whose family pursues him for vengeance. He meets Barbarosa, a gunman of near-mythical proportions, who is himself in danger from his father-in-law Don Braulio, a wealthy Mexican rancher. Don Braulio wants Barbarosa dead for marrying his daughter against the father's will. Barbarosa reluctantly takes the clumsy Karl on as a partner, as both of them look to survive the forces lining up against them.

KNEE... THEN HE PULLED THE TRIGGER.

POW!

AND SHOT MY LEG OFF.

HE DONE THE DEVIL'S WORK.

- HE IS THE DEVIL ON EARTH.

- GOD CHOSE US TO KILL HIM.

AND SHOULD WE:

EVER FALTER IN OUR HOLY PURSUIT,

SHOULD EVEN ONE ZAVALA

COMPLAIN OR BECOME AFRAID...

THEN GOD WILL PUT US BACK IN

HOUSES MADE OF STICKS AND MUD.

- AND TAKE AWAY OUR CATTLE.
