They had no idea their return journey would be in a covered wagon, and that they would be saddled with a schoolmarm named Bill smuggling $25,000 into Texas; not to mention a niece who refused to talk and a nephew who would hire a cowpoke to clean Clay's plow. An attack by a renegade band of Comanche and Choctaw Indians who were driven off with the help of Frank Fivekiller of the Cherokee Lighthorse fuels the fire on this wild ride; in addition to a betrayal by Clay's best friend who wounded Clay and stole the $25,000.
