Four Guns to the Border

In 1881, a gang of four bandits fixes its sights on robbing the bank of Cholla, Arizona. They hatch a plan to pull off the heist with as little fuss as possible, hoping to beat the town’s grim history of failed robberies. The group sizes up the risk and commits to a bold, high-stakes operation.

Shortly after their plan takes shape, the gang tangles with Simon Bhumer and his daughter Lolly. Simon is revealed as a former gunslinger, now a protective father wary of trouble around his daughter. The meeting injects a personal dynamic into the looming confrontation.

The gang moves on to Greasy's La Tienda general store, waiting for him to arrive from scouting the town. Simon and Lolly catch up with them there after renegade Apache smoke signals are seen in the hills. The tension between characters starts to shift in this roadside stop.

Lolly becomes a focal point for several of the gang, receiving gifts and attention that blur lines of propriety. Simon steps in to protect his daughter, while the uneasy spark between Cully and Lolly hints at a changing dynamic.

Restlessness marks the night as Cully and Lolly share an instinctive attraction during a desert rainstorm. The moment deepens their bond even as plans for the robbery press on. The atmosphere underscores a possible future beyond crime.

The group splits: Simon and Lolly head toward Shadow Valley farm, while the rest press on toward the bank robbery. The divergence of paths places new pressures on loyalty and choice. The stage is set for parallel destinies to unfold.

Lolly becomes overwhelmed by a powerful urge to return to Cully, pulling against her safer path with Simon. The emotional pull complicates the plan and adds a personal stake to the coming events. The desert journey grows more tangled as loyalties shift.

Cully rides ahead into his old hometown of Cholla to face his rival Jim Flannery, now the town sheriff. The confrontation is framed as a grudge match that will determine who dominates the town. This personal duel acts as a prelude to the day’s robbery.

As townsfolk watch Cully and Flannery exchange blows in their grudge match, the rest of the gang robs the bank without incident or alarm. The chaos of violence and pursuit contrasts with the calculated ease of the heist. The town becomes the backdrop for simultaneous action.

Heading for the Mexican border, the group discovers that renegade Apache forces are on the warpath and that Greasy has been killed. The escape becomes a race through a rapidly shifting frontier landscape. The path toward wealth clashes with the danger closing in.

At the last waterhole before the border, Cully faces a stark choice between safety and riches in Mexico or risking everything to rescue Simon and Lolly from an Apache war party. The moral tug-of-war tests Cully’s character and the fate of the group. The decision will steer the final course of events.

The posse led by Jim Flannery is not far behind, and a final volley of gunfire marks the culmination of the chase. In the end, the promise of domesticity triumphs, shaping a quieter future amid the frontier’s violence. The story closes on a note of earned stability for the survivors.
