Alma solitaria

Chuck Connor, a chuck-line-riding saddle tramp loves his life entailing no regular job or family ties and the freedom to move about as he pleases. He visits and old friend, a widower with four kids, and when the friend is killed Chuck takes over the responsibility for providing for his friend;s children. He gets a regular job, and runs across evidence of cattle rustling and tries to run it down. One night he comes 'home' and finds that Della, a pretty girl who has just run away from her abusive uncle, has also moved in. And then the rustlers also come by to put an end to his snooping around in their business.
