"End of the Line" is about Sam Cotton, a charming drifter, that blows into a western town that's on the verge of exploding. The townspeople are under the thumb of a corrupt local railroad boss Orville Hood who threatens to move the railroad out of town unless they give in to his demands. But there is a growing underground movement to push the boss out and in Sam Cotton they think they found the man that can do it. One problem, Orville ALSO thinks Sam is the perfect man to stop the underground movement.
