John Wayne stars in this hard-driving
oater which was co-written by character actor
Paul Fix.
Wayne plays
Rocklin, a chauvinistic cowboy who arrives at the KC Ranch in Santa Inez to apply for a job as a foreman. But when he finds that the owner has died and that the ranch is now being run by two women --
Clara Cardell (
Audrey Long) and her aunt
Miss Martin (
Elizabeth Risdon) -- he hardheadedly refuses to work for the women. But later on,
Clara comes looking for
Rocklin, asking his help in obtaining a letter from the town's corrupt judge
Garvey (
Ward Bond) that proves that
Clara is old enough to be the legal owner of the ranch.
Rocklin arrives in
Garvey's office just after
Garvey has burned the letter. The two tangle, with
Rocklin sending
Garvey crashing through his door. After the fight,
Rocklin meets
Arly Harolday (
Ella Raines), another female ranch owner.
Rocklin's views on women enrage
Arly so much that she gets her stepfather (
Donald Douglas) to hire him to work on her ranch, just so she can fire him. But in spite of
Rocklin's primitive attitudes,
Arly falls in love with him. Meanwhile, things are heating up as
Garvey and other corrupt officials try to get control of the KC ranch. In order to get rid of
Rocklin, a murder rap is pinned on him, forcing him to leave town. Hiding out at the KC ranch, he learns that he is the nephew of the ranch's dead owner and the rightful heir.
Arly arrives to help
Rocklin and to tell him that the murder
Rocklin is accused of committing was actually committed by
Arly's stepfather, who is working with
Garvey and
Miss Martin to get the deed to the ranch. With all that information under his cowboy hat,
Rocklin cocks his gun and goes out to face the bad guys for a final showdown.
