In the introductory episode, El Bigote is called upon to rid the countryside of an evil menace that has cost a certain village their livestock and some of its inhabitants. He swears upon his patron saint, Maria de Gila Guadeloupe, that he will bring this "Mitor" to justice and rides out from the Village. He comes upon a maze that has been carved out of the living rock, at the center of which waits his quarry: the hideous gun-slinging Minotaur, Mitor!

Subsequent issues may include such exciting plot lines as these...

II. In which El Bigote is fêted at his return. The prisoners of Mitor are greeted with extreme happiness as well as sorrow for those lost. Tonantzin, a beautiful young woman, cares for him and his broken ribs. Yet the next day the village is set upon by a group of Minotaurs armed with guns and pole-arms of Spanish style. In the tussle Bigote shoots and wounds one of the Minotaurs which leads to a "Mexican" standoff. The Minotaurs explain that El Bigote must come with them as their prisoner to stand trial for the murder of one of their own. In order to avoid bloodshed, Bigote gives himself up willingly on the condition the he remain armed. They travel to the maze.

III. In which El Bigote must answer for his transgression. In his defense, some Minotaurs speak out saying that Mitor was disturbed and lived on the fringe doing deeds aberrant to Minotaur society. Bigote is thankful for this support yet still he must do battle for his innocence with one who was beloved of Mitor. Bigote pumps him full of lead, but he does not kill him. This Minotaur swears that he will come gunning for El Bigote the minute his wounds heal! Bigote thanks the Minotaurs that spoke out in his defense then departs. So ends the minataur saga... for now.

IV. In which El Bigote is awakened at five in the morning by gunfire. He remembers that he is in a hotel in Columbus, NM on the morning of March 9, 1916. He has a debilitating hangover. Outside, Pancho Villa and his hoard are shooting into houses, burning buildings, kicking dogs and things of that nature. As one of the hoard is about to do terrible cruelty unto an innocent victim, Bigote shoots him from his window with a Winchester. Now he must defend himself and the occupants of the building from the mob as they throw dynamite and torches and shoot through the windows. The beautiful woman with whom he had spent the night assists him. All this with a splitting headache and bilious stomach. At last American troops drive off the Villistas and Bigote passes out.

V. In which El Bigote is awakened and arrested by the American soldiers. He is brought into a room with other Villistas, men who were captured by the troops. These men are lice ridden thugs of the lowest form. The officer commands that they all should be washed in kerosene for a delousing, including El Bigote. The officer leaves them in a cell under guard of a soldier. Bigote and the other Mexicans watch in horror as the soldier's visage transforms into that of a demon, a demon with a match. Three of the Villistas are burnt before Bigote kicks a bucket overflowing with human waste, onto the burning victims and douses the flames. The demon flees. The less severely burnt men, their bonds singed and weakened, quickly untie the rest. They free themselves from the cell and Bigote and the men find weapons and fight their way out of the fort; one or two of their number are killed. They escape back to Pancho Villa's camp where El Bigote confronts Villa for his detestable acts against innocent civilians. The issue ends in a standoff between El Bigote and Pancho Villa.

VI. In which Pancho Villa passionately explains to El Bigote that, among other things, 20 Mexicans had been burned alive in El Paso after having been arrested by the police. They had been doused in kerosene for a delousing then set afire to be burned alive. El Bigote says that maybe it wasn't the Americans who did this deed, that he and the others had been witness to a burning first hand and that he had seen an individual, a demon, do this deed! Bigote grubbies himself up and makes it so he is captured by American soldiers and "deloused" once again. By use of a tiny blade concealed in his palm, Bigote is able to cut his bonds. Just before the demon sets him afire Bigote makes his move. After a desperate struggle, Bigote rises as the victor and must again escape from the military camp.

VII. In which a German cargo boat has docked at Vera Cruz with a shipment of weapons meant for the zombie hoard of President Huerta. A force of US Navy Bluejackets is also present to take the weapons for their own use against his beloved Mexico. A battle ensues. El Bigote must wade into the fray to ensure that neither group gets their hands on the cache of weapons.

VIII. In which our man rides down into a lush valley where he discovers a ranch house besieged by a gang of violent rascals. He chases them off and sees that the house is occupied by a sole woman, her parents and brother having been killed by the gang. The woman warns that the gang will be back the next day, all the stronger. They spend a romantic night together and on the morrow must face the gang of thieves.

IX. In which Bigote disguises himself as a miner in order to free the exploited workers from greedy Johnny Texas. But first he must face down Mr. Texas' bodyguard, a hideous Gila monster-man with reptilian reflexes.

X. In which the unthinkable happens: El Bigote is outgunned and shot. How did this happen? It seems his opponent was using a drug created by an evil brujo that allows him to move like lightning. Bigote is cared for by a kindly brujo named Don Juan who takes him on an astral journey. Through his teachings, and a special brew, Bigote is able to slow the world around him and thereby defeat the sped-up outlaw.
