Four sons reunite after the death of their mother; some months earlier their father Bass Elder was shot in the back after losing the family ranch in a suspicious poker game to the town's most prominent citizen, Morgan Hastings. The murder of the sheriff serves as a pretext for convenient persecution of the brothers Elder. First film for John Wayne after his cancer surgery.
