Easygoing cowboy Dempsey Rae (Kirk Douglas) and his impressionable young friend Jeff Jimson (William Campbell) wander into town and are hired to work for an absentee rancher named Reed Bowman. When Bowman finally shows up, Dempsey is surprised to find that he has been working for a very attractive woman (Jeanne Crain), one who has very ambitious plans. These lead to conflict with her neighbors.
