In 1858, a bounty hunter named Schultz seeks out a slave named Django and buys him because he needs him to find some men he is looking for. After finding them, Django wants to find his wife, Brunhilde, who along with him were sold separately by his former owner for trying to escape. Schultz offers to help him if he chooses to stay with him and be his partner. Eventually, they learn that she was sold to a plantation in Mississipi. Knowing they can’t just go in and say they want her, they come up with a plan so that the owner will welcome them into his home and they can find away. In the late 1850s, a former dentist turned bounty hunter Dr. King Schultz buys the freedom of a man named Django from a slave trader duo in a quest to find and kill some men he wants dead..
