Plot Summary

Granted a small plot of land in a lush valley and a start of cattle by generous landowner and cattle baron Dennis Deneen (Donald Crisp), the once-feared gunslinger Steve Sinclair (Robert Taylor) has renounced violence, intent on keeping the peace in the community. However, the sudden arrival of Steve's much-younger brother Tony (John Cassavetes) with his saloon-singer fiancée Joan Blake (Julie London) paves the way for a bitter rivalry between siblings, as the volatile young gunfighter craves to prove his mettle. More and more, Tony's tricked-out custom six-shooter demands blood. Is Tony destined to be the lord of the rich valley? Written by Nick Riganas

Trivia A first score was written and recorded by Jeff Alexander but had to be replaced due to extensive re-cutting. See more »
Goofs When Tony Sinclair and Dallas Hanson confront Clay Ellison and burn the wagon, the shot alternates between a facing shot of Clay, and a rear view. In each shot, Clay is holding the shotgun. In the facing shots, he holds it across his body with the barrel held high, yet in each of the rear shots it is held horizontally at arms length. There is no apparent movement of the gun, however.

Quotes Steve Sinclair: I tried to bend that kid a certain way. I tried to shape him. He was some kind of tough leather that I had to make soft. But he didn't soften any. He wasn't made that way. He was just rotten leather and he came up hard.
