Trail-hardened cattlemen and longtime buddies Casey Tubbs and Eli Doolin learn their bosses are getting out of the beef business. The two plan to deliver the last two thousand cows to Abilene, collect their pay, and retire. There's just one problem: the company's lawyer is skipping town with all the workers' cash. They'll just have to steal it back. Casey and Eli plan to hold up the lawyer on the noon train and deliver the money to the men who earned it. They pull off the perfect crime--and get away with it! Could this be the start of a whole new career? -- Adapted from book jacket.
