Story
After his girlfriend's murder and his own incapacitation by Bucho's men in 'El Mariachi', El Mariachi returns to seek revenge. In Bucho's town, he finds few allies except Carolina who runs a bookstore. Bent on vengeance, El Mariachi starts picking off Bucho's men one by one, leading to a climactic showdown between the two arch-enemies.
