Glenn Ford stars alongside Barbara Stanwyck and Edward G. Robinson in this western potboiler. Looking to sell off his ranch and move East, Ford's plans are put on hold after local land baron Robinson puts in a low-ball offer and uses strong arm tactics inan attempt to seal the deal. When one of his hired hands winds up dead, Ford digs in his heels and decides to fight, while Stanwyck, as Robinson's wife, carries on an affair with her brother-in-law, who turns out to be just as disloyal as she is. With this much simmering greed, lust and anger in the works, it's only a matter of time before things erupt in an explosion of violence and retribution.
