Beautifully filmed in the great Wyoming outdoors, its story is seen through the innocent eyes of a young boy, Joey Starrett. Joey idolises Shane, a mysterious gun-fighter who has come to the homesteaders seeking a peaceful refuge. But Shane is forced to strap on his guns again to aid them in their battle with the cattlemen.
