The story

In 1901, Preacher Julian Shay (Nelson) and his new bride Raysha (Fairchild) leave Philadelphia for Driscoll, Montana, to replace a minister who tells Julian, "You'll be fighting the devil on his own ground here, sir." Julian soon learns the town is under the control of Larn Clavers and his sons, who monopolize the water supply. The preacher convinces Sheriff Scoby, the town's honest but fearful lawman, to stand up to the Clavers. He also gets the townspeople to re-excavate, and then guard, an old water well.
