Wagon Master

Two young horse traders guide a Mormon wagon train to the San Juan Valley and encounter rugged terrain, the cutthroat Clegg gang, hospitable Navajo, and moral challenges on the journey. A brazen hold-up by the Cleggs leads to a band of outlaws being led by patriarch Shiloh, who bullies his sons and nephew, while Travis Blue and Sandy Owens - seasoned roving horse traders - are hired as guides for the wagon train. Along the way, they encounter stranded medicine show performers, beautiful but slightly soiled dove "Denver", and a band of seemingly hostile Navajos.
