Carrying out her plans, the widow organizes a company of Indians and Mexicans and joins the Insurrectos to Colonel Cephis' headquarters, who induces the Colonel to spend the night in a small Mexican hotel. The next morning Colonel Cephis awakes to find the town in the hands of the Insurrectos. While attempting flight he is ambuscaded by the Widow Talamantes and her little band of Insurrectos and captured. A drum-head court martial quickly condemns him to death. The widow's mission being completed, she returns to her people.
