Arriving at Medicine Bow, eastern schoolteacher Molly Woods meets two cowboys, irresponsible Steve and the "Virginian," who gets off on the wrong foot with her. To add to his troubles, the Virginian finds that his old pal Steve is mixed up with black-hatted Trampas and his rustlers...then finds himself at the head of a posse after said rustlers; and Molly hates the violent side of frontier life.

It’s a very good looking western but I don’t like the simplicity of these cardboard cut out characters who fit into the exact stereotype they make themselves known as from the start. I mean do you think the guy wearing all black with a fiendish mustache rescues babies from burning buildings.
