Long John Coons, the Cajun son of a conjuring woman, was driving 2000 head of cattle north from Texas to the railroad in Kansas - through Indian Territory and outlaw strongholds. At his side was a beautiful woman with a sordid past, three ex-cattle rustlers, some renegade Indians, Mexican vanqueros and a straight-laced young trail boss.
