Steve Yeager

A former range rider displaced when settlement and fencing closed the open country takes work as a motion-picture extra and revels in living out frontier adventures on camera. He learns new skills, trains as a boxer to meet a jealous co-worker, and navigates rivalries and backstage tensions while his physical courage carries him into genuine peril: a desert pursuit, encounters with outlaws and men who hide in caves, a conspiracy that leads to capture and imprisonment, and long journeys that test loyalties. The narrative moves between on-set performance and real danger, exploring resilience, shifting identities, and the collision of theatrical bravado with actual violence.
