North Western Colorado is a barren land of drought, blizzard and loneliness. It has been the home of dinosaurs, buffalos, Indians and cowboys. Now the cowboys are a dying breed. In this film, Bill Movers of WNET New York looks at two families living as close to the frontier as is possible in the second half of the 20th century. Monty Sheridan , 42-years-old and divorced, is the father of four children who work with him at the cowboys' jobs. Memford and Judy Beard are neighbours and friends. They share the hard work, the long days and the occasional visits to the dance hall in the town. But they love the life, the stubborn land, the outdoor work and the horses they chase and ride.
