Audie Murphy (To Hell And Back, Whispering Smith) plays Matt, a troubled saddle tramp with the penchant for drinking away his pain. When he inherits a massive ranch from a man who may have been his father, it leads him back into the arms of an old flame, as well as into the fists of some old rivals who would rather see him dead. He soon learns that the ranch is deeply in debt, and unless he can drive 3,000 head of cattle to Santa Fe within a week, the bank will foreclose.

Can Matt earn the respect of his cowhands on the long drive to Santa Fe, escape the deadly trap set by his rivals and learn the truth about his father? Find out in this fast-paced, rip-roaring, cowboy tale of love, loss and redemption.
