It was a simple plan. Andy Larson, a veteran of the Great War who is now a North Dakota cop, along with four close friends, will hijack a truckload of bootleg booze coming in from Canada. To Larson, stealing from crooks wasn't really a crime. Everything goes wrong when an unexpected guard kills one of Larson's friends, and the resulting shootout leaves all four whiskey runners dead. Then they find the reason for the increased security.
