Through the course of the six episodes, the Monacos, Felomina, Michelina (Matilda Anna Ingrid Lutz), and Schiavone (Marlon Joubert) aka Sparrowhawk set aside their differences and unite to battle Fumel (Pietro Micci) and locate the gold that will help them liberate their land.

Felomina's astute plan helps defeat Fumel in 'Brigands: The Quest for Gold'
Felomina devises a clever plan to steal the gold away from Fumel. After discovering that the gold is kept in a church at the center of the city, she orchestrates a plan.
Felomina, along with Michelina and the other brigands will keep Fumel occupied in a chaotic gunfight outside the church while Schiavone and Francesco Guerra (Giulio Beranek) sneak into the church through a secret underground passage known only to Felomina.
The plan is executed to perfection as Schiavone and Guerra steal the gold while the battle serves as a distraction. The brigands retreat as soon as Maria rings the bell, signaling the gold to be stolen.
