Two companies are competing to build the intercontinental railway. When one sends saboteurs to intercept the powder needed to pierce tunnels through the mountains, the other calls upon Lucky Luke to protect a last chance convoy. The problem is, it's not powder that gets loaded onto the train this time - it's nitroglycerin! And as if that wasn't enough, the saboteurs are still around ... and the Daltons are convinced the train is full of gold!

"Fingers" is a magician-a really, really good one. When his unfortunate kleptomania sends him to jail, he meets the Daltons and soon escapes with them. After Lucky Luke puts everyone back behind bars, he takes pity on Fingers' unfortunate tendencies and agrees to try to rehabilitate him. A daunting, frustrating task, for confusing and complicating matters is second nature to a magician. Riding off into the sunset is going to be a difficult trick this time!

Bij de Railroad Act van 1864 werd besloten een spoorlijn aan te leggen die de Westkust van de Verenigde Staten met de Oostkust moest verbinden. Twee spoorwegmaatschappijen betwistten elkander de aanleg van de lijn. Om elkanders vooruitgang te saboteren, wordt handig gebruik gemaakt van Nitroglycerine.
