Fiery ranch owner T.C. Jeffords (Walter Huston, in his final role) incurs the wrath of his feisty daughter Vance (Barbara Stanwyck) when he gets engaged to rich socialite Flo Burnett (Judith Anderson). But when T.C.'s actions imperil Vance's good friend, she vows bloody revenge. Acclaimed director Anthony Mann's searing frontier drama, set in the New Mexico territories of 1872, finds the fierce Stanwyck at the top of her game.
