Jarvis Garret asks Gringo to persuade local Mexicans to build a needed dam in the haunted 'Hill of Death'. Tomás and Chucho respond, but an old woman lures them to an Aztec temple with fire blasting from an idol's eyes. They run in terror. Syd helps dig the dam to show it is safe, but a rock slide badly hurts Javis. The villagers believe the spirits have taken revenge and the sheriff says he's not paid to fight ghosts. Gringo insists Tomás guide him to the cave, where they uncovers a fake god and find the hill rich with gold. The sheriff is behind the deception.
