=============

Tom Dunson builds a cattle empire with his adopted son Matthew Garth. Together they begin a massive cattle 
drive north from Texas to the Missouri railhead. But on the way, new information and Dunson's tyrannical 
ways cause Matthew to take the herd away from Dunson and head to a new railhead in Kansas. Dunson, swearing 
vengeance, pursues.
