For years the small quaint town somewhere in the Cordilleras has been the picture of peace and quiet until one day when a rich mining baron arrives with his armed thugs and starts causing disorder. Despite opposition from environmentalists and residents the greedy businessman opens a mine using all he has and doing all he can to amass wealth. All of a sudden the small town's police chief (Fernando Poe Jr.) finds his small contingent of native cops threatened by a huge army of security guards and goons who will stop at nothing to get what they want.
