A dangerous cougar is the central element in this tale of a young man who returns to his mothers birthplace, which happens to be a small valley in draught-wracked southern Utah. The youngster finds himself involved in a feud between two men hoping to collect the bounty on the killer cat. Lon McCallister, Preston Foster, and Forrest Tucker star in this wild mountain adventure from director Phil Karlson (Kansas City Confidential, Walking Tall).
