The story

In the spring of 1865 in Nevada, a small band of Confederate soldiers disguised as civilians intercept a shipment of gold bars that is being escorted through the eastern slopes of the Sierra Nevada mountains by Union cavalry troops. Following a heated battle that kills all of the Union soldiers, Confederate major Matt Stewart learns from a dying Union officer that the war had ended a month earlier. Stewart and his men transport the gold as planned to the scheduled rendezvous with Captain Petersen, who has been scouting the area disguised as a traveling peddler.
