Rancher and his family are killed when the local big man in town feels his land and cattle are threatened. The son survives the attack and kills one of them in a fair shootout. However, a bounty is placed on his head and he is pursued by a wisecracking Dan Duryea who almost takes over the movie. The chase leads them to an abandoned Mission which is being used by a gold miner and his family. They all come under attack from Indians and must work together. Duryea overplays his hand as the obnoxious bounty hunter in a borderline ridiculous caricature. Tony Young as Taggart is the stereotypical strong but silent type.
