Recently released from jail, ex-convict cowboy John Cord (Joel McCrea) is hired to drive a large herd of cattle to Fort Clemson. However, the man who hires him turns out to be the very same person that had Cord thrown in jail five years earlier for vandalizing his town in an alcohol-induced rampage. Though this town leader does not remember Cord, Cord remembers him all too well. He takes the job, knowing this could be the perfect opportunity to get back at the man who destroyed his life.

Audience Member Really good western air highly recommend it James Welch, Henderson, Arkansas October 23, 2023 Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/23/23 Full Review Audience Member If you’re “not interested” why are you rating the movie ??? Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/18/19 Full Review Audience Member Good western, they don't make movies like this anymore. If you like westerns you will want to see this movie. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member The western story although generic, is quite a good one about cattle drive, and it is fairly well acted, the only criticism is that everything about it, the plot and sub-plots all end idealisticallly. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Good western with Joel McCrea as a Trail Boss with a 'dark past' who is hired by his former enemy to drive his herd cross country. It is during this drive that McCrea's true character emerges and the mystery surrounding his past revealed. McCrea, as usual, is the best thing in this by a country mile and elevates it from just being a average western. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Read all reviews
