Description
Tom Chantry's decision to buy cattle west has led to trouble. A drunken scuffle in a bar ended with Dutch Akin challenging him to a gunfight, forcing Tom to leave town rather than face the confrontation. When hiring men for his herd to be taken to the railroad, Tom faces another dilemma: no one wants to make the long and dangerous journey with a leader of questionable courage. French Williams, a shrewd cattleman, offers Tom an unusual deal - he must remain with the drive from start to finish, or risk losing the entire herd. This arrangement brings its own set of challenges for Tom, as he soon learns that life will not be easy for him on this journey.
