In December 1889 a group of ranch-hands and a country doctor are marooned for a long, cold night in a cabin. To pass the time, they each decide to tell a yarn or true story - and there are some excellent ones! An Arizonan cattle drive intercepted by rustlers, an encounter with Wild Bill Hickok, an Indian who catches rattlesnakes for a living, a gun-runner called Hookey Cross... not to mention the prospector who accidentally blew up a mountain. A quirky and often touching set of recollections with more than a few surprises!
