Gustav and Otto, finer far-famed as Old Red and Big Red respectively, are rear legs and this instance their moving the bar as an alternative of the chow file. They've been employed by the Southern Pacific Rail Road and put on the phrase to San Francisco where on earth they will acquire their breaking in. The hassle is that they have to get complete the mountains viable freshman. Not sole is the train a reference for a gang of outlaws with a rancour against the Southern Pacific but in attendance is a slaughter bound up on committee virtually as shortly as the engine gets started.

With a educate brimfull of suspects and a bad case of the 'collywobbles,' Old Red starts work. Not individual do they have to matter with a snobby music director who thinks that the solitary situation humiliate later cowboys are firm guards but here is a disturbed Wells Fargo man next to a sudden trigger digit in the explicit car. There is the Chinaman moving next to a intoxicated Pinkerton Agent, a feminist who has an virtually unladylike curiosity in her chap passengers, and an plaguey drummer. Then at hand is the wrongdoing scene, a stuff car untasted of peculiar things, with two caskets and a snake.

The far into the mountains they go the interloper and more difficult holding get. As the brothers operate beside killing and robbery, holding go from bad to worse. Using the methods of Old Red's hero, Sherlock Holmes, the two brothers hound the clues to the end of the file.
