In Willow Creek, Steve Lewellyn, a gunfighter and drifter, helps Pete Lynch and his daughter Sharon battle Hal Fenton, a ruthless cattle baron. Despite Lewellyn's objections, Sharon persuades her father to sell his ranch to Fenton rather than fight to keep it, and Lewellyn moves on to Brokenbow, Kansas. After her father dies, Sharon also settles down in Brokenbow. Since Brokenbow has now become a major shipping center for cattle, Fenton drives his herd through the town and decides to take over Brokenbow, so he can use the fertile Kansas grassland. In a climactic gunfight, Lewellyn and other town members defeat Fenton and his men. Now realizing the necessity to fight for what is important, Sharon persuades Lewellyn to return with her to Willow Creek, so they can start over again.
