Widower Lee Hackett (Van Heflin), a cattle rancher who is a product of the old west, tries to bring up his two sons, Ed (Tab Hunter)and Davy (James Darren), in his image, but Ed is wild and unruly. The two brothers are both attracted to Clee Chourard ('Kathryn Grant(I)') but she prefers Davy. Ed's efforts to outshine his father and brother and everyone else leads him into a career of a gunfighter, and a confrontation with his father. 　　译文(2): 鳏夫李 · 哈克特(范 · 赫夫林饰)是一个牧场主，是旧西部的产物，他试图以自己的形象抚养他的两个儿子，埃德(塔布 · 亨特饰)和戴维(詹姆斯 · 达伦饰) ，但是埃德是野蛮和不守规矩的。两兄弟都被克里 · 乔拉德(“凯瑟琳 · 格兰特(我)”)所吸引，但她更喜欢戴维。爱德华努力让自己的父亲和兄弟以及其他所有人相形见绌，这使得他成为了一名枪手，并与父亲发生了冲突。
