Abilene, Kansas, 1870, a dusty, noisy, wide-open town, home to settlers, saloon keepers, cattlemen, dance-hall girls, merchants, churchgoers, killers, scoundrels and Marshall Randolph Scott. An old-fashioned, two-fisted western in which the heroic farmers face down the villainous cowboys (villainous cowboys?) with grit, a few pitchforks, and a chorus or two from "The Battle Hymn of the Republic". Oh, and Randolph Scott.
