Alexander Bowman loses his friend Alfred and his wife Baby in Mexico. He goes to a bar to search for them and, while ordering a drink, the bartender offers him a "gorl," explaining that they just got a 13 year-old yesterday and she will have no idea what Alexander is doing. He declines, explaining that he is looking for a specific American girl (his wife), at which point the bartender explains that they have an American girl and leads him to two young men who are running the prostitution ring. He asks them where the American girl is, but they refuse to let Bowman see her. When the "pimps" refuse to let Bowman see Baby, he knifes one of them in the arm, which breaks his arm but does not kill him. Bowman finally sees the girl, only to discover it is not Baby but instead a different American girl. Back outside the bar, Bowman is talking to his reporter friend, Buck, when the pimp and the American girl come out to join them. When the American girl notices that the bartender has been killed by the pimp, she becomes scared, and argues with the pimp, and he proceeds to kill the cat that she is petting, along with the American girl. Bowman, reacting with what he thinks is a trick gun, shoots the pimp, and it turns out that the gun, although it seems fake, is real enough to kill the pimp.
