After being duped by his faithless wife, Howard Kemp, a Civil War veteran and former rancher, accepts work as a bounty hunter. His assignment: bring back a ferret-eyed outlaw from the Colorado Rockies and collect $5,000. Just enough money, Kemp figures, to invest in another ranch. Two rather shifty men, a disgraced cavalryman and a piggish guide, are ordered to assist Kemp. The hunters find their prey, Ben Vandergroat, with ease. They tie him up and head back. But the outlaw has criminal savvy to spare. Through a series of mind games that play on each man's greed, Vandergroat pits the bounty hunters against one another. Now, for Kemp, staying alive takes precedence over starting a new life! (forgalmazó hivatalos szövege)

Minimal gunfights, minimal action, lots of conversation, and only a few actors. Yet Anthony Mann directed one of the best westerns (or at least one that easily ranks among the best) because he understood that even a western can be about people and that it will work with them. James Stewart is excellent in the role of the unpleasant guy, which I wouldn't have believed before seeing the film.
