Synopsis

Rancher Matt Devereaux (Spencer Tracy) rears his four sons with tough love in this Western that rings of Shakespeare's "King Lear." After years of living under their dad's rule, Ben (Richard Widmark), Mike (Hugh O'Brian) and Danny (Earl Holliman) are indifferent when he's accused of a crime. But son Joe (Robert Wagner) takes the blame for his dad and serves jail time. Years later, Joe's released to find his father dead and his brothers to blame.
