What happens

Cattle Drive is a 1951 American Western film directed by Kurt Neumann and starring Joel McCrea, Dean Stockwell and Chill Wills. Much of the film was shot in Death Valley National Park, California and Paria, Utah. The basic story echoes that of the 1937 film Captains Courageous, adapted from a novel by Rudyard Kipling, although in the desert rather than at sea. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
