When her young son is killed in a bank robbery, a widowed dance hall hostess, Kit Tilden (Maureen O'Hara) is determined to bury her son by his father in Siringo which is now deserted and located in Apache territory. The ex-army sergeant who accidentally killed her son, Yellowleg (Brian Keith), decides to help Kit by taking her son's body across the desert to be buried, whether Kit wants his help or not. Yellowleg (Brian Keith) forces the other two bank robbers -- Turk (Chill Wills), a confederate deserter, and Billy (Steve Cochran), a gunslinger, to accompany them. Billy (Steve Cochran) attacks Kit and Yellowleg throws him out of their camp. Turk (Chill Wills) then deserts Kit and Yellowleg. Yellowleg and Kit become quite close during the journey to Siringo. They discover that Kit and Turk have followed them and this leads to a gunfight among the three men. Who will survive and who will die? This is a classic Western you won't soon forget.
