This is the fourth film of the Angélique series. Having discovered that her beloved is still alive, Angélique boards a galley ship and sails the Mediterranean. However, their ship is attacked by pirates and Angélique once more finds herself in peril...

Chino Valdez is a loner horse breeder living in the old west. Partly a loner by choice, and partly because, being a 'half-breed', he finds himself unwelcome almost everywhere he goes. One day, a young runaway named Jimmy shows up at his door looking for work and a roof over his head. Reluctantly, Chino agrees to take him in and teach him the art of raising, breaking and breeding horses, until the pair finally begin to accept each other.
