Output (English): Back home in Texas following the Civil War, former Confederate officer Chad Morgan Alan Ladd leads a cattle drive to Missouri, assuring fellow ranchers that their stock will bring 20 a head at auction. Instead, ruthless cattle baron Brog Anthony Caruso has scared off all competition and offers much less. Blamed for what happened, Morgan chooses not to return to Texas. He spends a night in a livery stable and meets town drunk Joe Jagger Edmond OBrien, who is nearly lynched for trying to steal whiskey. Chad helps keep Joe sober after they leave town. They meet farmers who need a better way to sell their wheat, so Chad and Joe ride to Kansas City to meet Tom Draper Don Castle, a railroad man who is engaged to Joes sister Helen Virginia Mayo, a singer in the saloon. Tom likes the idea of a railroad spur to aid the farmers. Helen is pleased at the change in her brother and thanks Chad, which brings out some jealousy in her fiance. Brog and his henchman disrupt the towns construction attempts while Chad is out of town. Joe tries to stand up to him, resisting the strong temptation to drink, but when he does, Brog guns him down. Her brothers death causes Helen to turn on Chad upon his return. Brog stampedes cattle through the town. He and his henchman then attempt to ambush Chad, who kills them both in selfdefense. Helen embraces him and Tom realizes he has lost her for good.
