He also accepts a bribe along the way from the lawless Taylor (Alan Caillou). The determined Martha and her daughter Hilary (Juliet Mills) demand to go along for the trip, leading to Burnett having to rescue them from several bouts of Western-style danger. Soon Bowen loses faith in the breeding idea, but Burnett has grown to believe in the bull. The bull dies after the harsh winter, but Burnett saves one of its calves. He and Martha decide to start their own cattle ranch. Meanwhile, Hilary begins a romance with Bowen's son Jamie (Don Galloway). Also starring Jack Elam as swindler Deke Simons. Andrea LeVasseur, Rovi

This movie is truly among the best that Jimmy Stewart ever did in the Westerns. I was so happy to have run across it by accident. I just had to have it! Good plot, Steward in a bad guy role, great supporting staff, and a great actress. I amost want to do it again - and probably will!
