With a guitar in his hand and a price on his head, he wasn't looking for trouble. But trouble came looking for him.
El Mariachi just wants to play his guitar and carry on the family tradition. Unfortunately, the town he tries to find work in has another visitor, a killer who carries his guns in a guitar case.
