“The Last Stop in Yuma County’s” got a setup you’ve seen many times before: a rural Arizona gas station out on the edge of town; desert tumbleweeds; a greasy-spoon diner; oppressive heat; a broken air conditioner; a cute waitress; a highway patrol roving around; a couple of bank robbers attempting a getaway.
