Plot

New Mexico Territory, 1880. Pierre Challon and son Marc have a big ranch -- so big it encompasses both sides of Raton Pass. The Challons have leased additional acres from homesteaders to accommodate their cattle. It is an uneasy arrangement, leading to occasional feuding. Against this background, two strangers arrive: an attractive woman, Ann, and a ruthless gunfighter, Cy Van Cleave, with whom she flirts. After making lunch plans with Cy, she observes an altercation between Cy and Marc, who emerges as the victor. She immediately snubs Van Cleave for Marc, who is quickly enchanted with her feminine charms. Before the town realizes it, the two get hitched. The newlyweds are pleasantly surprised by Papa Pierre's wedding gift, a title deed transferring ownership of the ranch to the happy couple.
