Joaquin Murrieta

This MGM Historical Mystery tells the story of Joaquin Murrieta, who terrorized California in the mid 19th century with acts of robbery, arson, and murder. They were carried out in response to injustices done to the native Mexicans by Eastern settlers looking for gold. Although he is believed to have died in a shootout in the 1850's, there are those who say he lived into the 1910's.
