The McIntire brothers return home after an eastern upbringing to find their crippled father and his fellow ranchers under the grip of local racketeers who are bleeding them for protection money under threat of violence. The brothers, full of moral fury but ill equipped for a town addicted to the gun, confront the bad guys and make themselves targets for the mysterious gang leader who keeps his face covered and enlists the services of a paid gunman to eliminate the new trouble makers. Unbeknownst to all, another gunman has arrived. A stranger who seems to have the welfare of the brothers at heart and who is an old and respected acquaintance of the racketeer's newly hired man. The two gunmen spar around each other, attempting to serve their own purposes without coming into open conflict or transgressing their 'professional code'. Eventually, their torn loyalties can lead them in only one direction and when the brothers discover the racketeer's true identity and where he has stashed all his ill gotten gains a showdown is inevitable.
It's a nightmare at 20,000 feet when three French Foreign Legion paratroopers decide to desert, and force their plane's pilot to take them to Spain. Following a fight and a desert crash-landing (no, no... that's not right), they meet a nurse (Hildegard Neff) who offers help (actually, they offer her help - of a sort). There are run-ins with military patrols, a trip on a merchant ship--and romance--until the deserters find themselves in the country they fear more than any other--France!
