After the Civil War two brothers return home to Texas. Dan, in a search for easy money, joins a ruthless group of cattle rustlers and spreads fear throughout the state as he amasses wealth and power. It falls to his brother Neal, who is named Marshal, to try to end the reign of terror.

One of director Budd Boetticher's first Westerns, the film also features Raymond Burr - in a very different role from his successful television series.
