15 Three Amigos Quotes From The Iconic Western Trio

The plot opens with Carmen (the Village leader’s daughter) mistaking three silent movie actors to be real heroes!

Carmen feels the three amigos will save her little Mexican village of Santo Poco from the clutches of the Bandit ‘El Guapo’. The actual show for the three amigos opens when they struggle hard to live up to their reputation of saviors and stop El Guapo from ruining the lives of the people of the Mexican village of Santo Poco, with a gun in hand.
