Train-hopping his way to Wyoming, nomadic cowboy Dempsey Rae (Kirk Douglas) saves the life of young Jeff Jimson (William Campbell). Taking Jeff on as his protégé, Dempsey teaches him the life of a cowhand; how to ride a horse, rope and herd cattle, and how to shoot... Despite the land they work on being open range, Dempsey is horrified to find the local ranchers are resorting to the usage of barbed wire and refuses to work for anyone who uses it. But when an unscrupulous ranch owner (Jeanne Crain) hires a brutal group of killers to push the other ranchers off the land, Dempsey is the only one who can help them fight back.
