A poor-but-proud man, Jonas Trapp (Chuck Connors, Soylent Green) insists his rich, new bride Jessie (Kathyrn Hays, As the World Turns) leave her pampered life in Coldiron and join him in Kansas, where hell work as a buffalo hunter. Rebuffed, Jonas goes alone. And now, eleven years later, hes back to reclaim his wife with the $17,000 hes earned. So when Jonas is savagely attacked on the outskirts of town, he stops at nothing to avenge himself upon the men who beat, branded and robbed him: sadistic dandy Johnsy Boy Hood (Bill Bixby, The Incredible Hulk), babbling drunk Elwood Coates (Claude Akins, Rio Bravo) and Brooks Durham (Michael Rennie, The Day the Earth Stood Still), a crooked banker whos courting Jessie, an embittered woman whose sole wish is to see Jonas dead.
