Monte Walsh and Chet Rollins are long-time cowhands, working
whatever ranch work comes their way, but "nothing they can't do
from a horse." Their lives are divided between months on the
range and the occasional trip into town. Monte has a long-term
relationship with prostitute Martine Bernard, while Chet has
fallen under the spell of the widow who owns the hardware store.
Camaraderie and competition with the other cowboys fill their
days, until one of the hands, Shorty Austin, loses his job and
gets involved in rustling and killing. Then Monte and Chet find
that their lives on the range are inexorably redirected.
