Not far north of the Mexican border, there is a small town called Juarez that lies in the hot sun. For many years, the people there have whispered tales of the legend of Montezuma's ransom. The legend states that a large fortune is buried along the town's border, but that a curse by the sun god, Huitzilopochtli, brings madness to all who seek it. This curse is enough to keep most folks far away, but for Billy Candle and Reverend Ray McCall, no curse — and no one — will keep them from trying to strike it rich.
