After Sabra (Maria Schell) marries cowboy Yancey Cravat (Glenn Ford) against her parents' wishes, the newlyweds travel to Oklahoma to participate in a land rush for territory taken from the Native Americans. Settling down in their new community, Yancey becomes locally prominent as the editor of the town newspaper. When he turns down an offer to run for governor because his oil-money backers would demand more property from the Native Americans, Sabra's disapproval drives Yancey to leave.
