In 1865 Nevada, a band of Confederate soldiers under Major Matt Stewart ambushes a Union gold‑laden wagon. The lone wounded survivor reveals the war ended a month earlier, prompting the men to seize the gold and seek a liaison who failed to inform them. Ruthless Rolph Bainter kills a greedy companion, and the group escapes in Stewart’s wagon, deliberately misleading a pursuing posse. After losing their horses, they hijack a stagecoach, only to be cornered at a remote station by men posing as deputies who have no intention of delivering them to justice, aiming instead to keep the stolen gold for themselves.
