Plot
Ben Lane (Audie Murphy) is breaking a horse in the desert that he believes to be stray. He is caught by some ranchers who treat him as a horse thief when he is saved by Frank Jesse (Dan Duryea). Lane and Jesse are hired by Kelly (Joan O'Brien), who offers to pay them $1,000 each to take her to a town to be with her husband. In reality, she is setting up Jesse because he killed her husband in a shootout. A unique part of the film is that Lane rescues a collie dog that goes with him everywhere, including riding the pack horse.
