A Louis L'amour after the Civil Ward movie. Mac (Tom Selleck) fought for the North and his brother Dal (Sam Elliott) for the South. When they get home they discover a band of "Rebs" has stolen their sisters and headed to Mexico as they are not yet prepared to give up the war. They make a deal, trading the cattle the stole, and the women and men for slaves to a businessman from Mexico who promises to give them guns to continue their war.
Of course Mac and Dal decide to go after and find them on the beach. They meet a brother, Jesse (Jeff Osterhage) who was also taken prisoner but manages to escape. The women and a couple Confederates have already sailed to Mexico. They also come upon Kate (Katharine Ross) who was also taken, but left behind for fear she would be trouble. She was the fiancé of Dal before the war. They also recruit Uncle Jack Black (Ben Johnson) who is a bit of a criminal. They have to break him out of jail. But he knows Mexico from his criminal days.
This movie is great fun with three brothers working together to save their family. It has dynamite and gun play, and dressing up like a num to effect the rescue.
