Hewey Calloway is between a rock and a hard place: The open range and simple life of his childhood are disappearing. He can't live a cowboy life whose time has passed and he's not ready yet for the new challenges of the 20th century, like automobiles, telephones and barbed wire fences. He and his friends, all of them good old boys, must learn that even the best choices involve some kind of sacrifice.
