GraySeit Jahr und Tag rackert sich der Cowboy Ross Bodine ab, doch das mühsam verdiente Geld rinnt ihm abends im Saloon aus den Händen. Dem Traum von einer eigenen Ranch kommt er keinen Schritt näher. Als ein Kollege einen tödlichen Arbeitsunfall beim Einreiten eines wilden Hengstes erleidet, kommt Ross zu Bewusstsein, wie wenig Zeit ihm für die Verwirklichung seines Lebenstraums bleibt. Deshalb lässt er sich von seinem jungen Freund Frank Post zum Überfall auf die kleine Bank des Ortes überreden. Mit fast 40 000 Dollar in den Satteltaschen machen sie sich auf in Richtung Mexiko.
Ross Bodine and Frank Post are cowhands on Walt Buckman's R-Bar-R ranch. Bodine is older and broods a bit about how he will get along when he's too old to cowboy. Post is young and rambunctious and ambitious for a better life than wrangling cows. When one of their fellow cowboys is killed in a corral accident, Post suggests a way into a better life for himself and his friend: robbing a bank. Bodine reluctantly joins in the plan and the two contrive to rob the local bank. They make good their escape initially, but Walt Buckman and his two sons, John and Paul, are incensed at this betrayal by their own trusted employees. John and Paul set out to bring Bodine and Post to justice.
