Synopsis
Lt. Blueberry is sent to negotiate peace with the Sioux and Cheyenne so the railroad can be built. But rival railroaders hire "Steelfingers" to kill Indians on both sides to stir trouble. Blueberry survives a buffalo stampede, bar shoot-up and inferno, and steel-fingered beatings. But the bad guys triumph by sniping Indians and scotching negotiations. Blueberry and crew barely escape on a roaring train over a burning bridge. Now he needs to settle with Steelfingers...
