Synopsis

John Wayne spends as much time fighting the battle of the sexes as brawling with the bad guys in this Western mystery. Hardheaded cowboy Rocklin (Wayne) arrives in town to discover that the rancher who sent for him has been murdered. In the wranglings to determine the rightful owner of the property and catch the killer, the chauvinistic Rocklin butts heads with the female kinfolk of the dead man, as well a comely but fiery neighbor (Ella Raines).
