Ross Bodine (William Holden) and Frank Post (Ryan O'Neal) are cowhands on Walt Buckman's R-Bar-R ranch. Bodine is older and broods a bit about how he will get along when he's too old to cowboy. Post is young and rambunctious and ambitious for a better life than wrangling cows. When one of their fellow cowboys is killed in a corral accident, Post suggests a way into a better life for himself and his friend: robbing a bank. Bodine reluctantly joins in the plan and the two contrive to rob the local bank. They make good their escape initially, but Walt Buckman (Karl Malden) and his two sons, John and Paul, are incensed at this betrayal by their own trusted employees. John (Tom Skerritt) and Paul (Joe Don Baker) set out to bring Bodine and Post to justice.
