After killing a troublemaker, Cristino flees to a town in the Northeast and is forced to join Lampião's gang, where he becomes his right-hand man, under the name Corisco, the Blond Devil. He falls in love with Dadá, a farmer's daughter, and takes her with him by force. Gradually, she learns to love him, and they live together for 13 years in the cangaço. Corisco escapes the Angico massacre but is captured by Lieutenant Zé Rufino's volante after beheading the family of Lampião's informant. Dadá and Corisco, on the way to hand them over to the authorities, reminisce about the adventurous adventures of their lives.
