Synopsis

“Twin” tape of The Iron Fist, filmed outside the city of Orizaba, Veracruz of the 1920s and made in the manner of the American thrillers of the time, develops its history with an outstanding technique for that time, using Orizaba’s high society people as actors. It displays images of the electric train that crossed from Esperanza, in Puebla, to the entrance to the state of Veracruz, in Maltrata. This film is about the love rivalry and misdeeds committed by train robbers.
