A Pardoned Lifer

After a Sioux uprising and massacre at New Ulm, Minnesota, brothers George and John Sontag form an outlaw band with Chris Evans, largely because of greed. They engineer several successful and spectacular train robberies before a sheriff's posse and Federal officials begin to trail them. The bandits, chased by bloodhounds and Indians employed to capture them, elude their pursuers until George is captured. John and Chris continue for ten months, during which time they visit their homes three times and escape after killing several deputies. During one return, they escape a burning barn and shoot their way through the surrounding posse. On their fourth return home, Chris's eye is shot out and he is captured, while John is shot dead.
