Andrew V. McLaglen directs the Western drama
The Rare Breed, based on the real-life introduction of English Hereford cattle to the American West in the 1880s.
Maureen O'Hara plays Martha Price, an widowed Englishwoman who convinces rancher Alexander Bowen (
Brian Keith) to use her new cattle breed.
James Stewart stars as ranch hand Sam Burnett, a rambler who agrees to take the rare bull to Texas in order to breed it with the longhorns. He also accepts a bribe along the way from the lawless Taylor (
Alan Caillou). The determined Martha and her daughter Hilary (
Juliet Mills) demand to go along for the trip, leading to Burnett having to rescue them from several bouts of Western-style danger. Soon Bowen loses faith in the breeding idea, but Burnett has grown to believe in the bull. The bull dies after the harsh winter, but Burnett saves one of its calves. He and Martha decide to start their own cattle ranch. Meanwhile, Hilary begins a romance with Bowen's son Jamie (
Don Galloway). Also starring
Jack Elam as swindler Deke Simons.
