What a disappointment. Brendan O'Malley (Kirk Douglas) had been in love with Belle (Malone) when they were younger. He finds he has a compelling attraction to Melissa (Carol Lynley) who is Belle's daughter. And she is drawn to him. Then O'Malley has Stribling, a lawman, following him. A sort of "Mexican" stand off takes place as the two men join Belle in driving her cattle across the border to market. Melissa has decided she is going to run off with O'Malley despite the age difference. Belle tells O'Malley that he can't go off with Melissa because she is his daughter. O'Malley arranges for suicide by cop by facing Stribling down as he has an unloaded gun. Camera pulls back and there is O'Malley's prone body with Melissa on her knees, and Stribling in a sort of clinch with Belle. This would be possibly be better as a Dr. Phil hour then it was as a Western.
