With the Civil War raging in the East, the Confederacy is in desperate need for Union gold coming overland from California through Fort Yuma in the Arizona Territory. With the help of Southern spies and sympathizers, Alkali Jim Sullivan and his gang of bushwhackers are robbing the Wells Fargo gold shipments.
Only one man has the gumption to stand against the killers. His name is John Clayton Lonaker, a man known for raw courage and a fast gun. Lonaker signs on to ride shotgun with the newest gold shipment along the Oxbow Route to Yuma, being transported in a iron-plated war wagon.
Of course, Sullivan and his cutthroats want that gold, and the attempted robbery becomes a running battle across the worst stretch of desert in the territory. Lonaker is facing impossible odds. But that's never stopped him. He's dead-set on ending the Rebel threat in a epic showdown at Seven Springs.
