Robert Taylor and Anthony Quinn play opposite each other as well as opposite types, Taylor the calm, plain-spoken cowboy and Quinn the emotional, hot-headed bandit. It's the south Texas border country after the Civil War and Quinn is burning out the homesteaders for fear they will move in on his territory. Taylor takes up with the gringos and falls in love with Ava Gardner, though she is married to homesteader and all-around nice guy Howard Keel. Their romance is mostly unspoken but nonetheless fuels the action. It all leads to the expected shoot-out between Taylor and Quinn in a deserted bar.
