Nemmeno la guerra di Secessione è un motivo sufficiente perché Jess Birdwell (Cooper), di rigorosa osservanza quacchera, rinneghi i suoi principi che non ammettono in alcun modo la violenza. Il figlio Josh (Perkins), invece, si arruola nella Guardia Civile e sua madre (McGuire) è disperata. Ma il capofamiglia, quando è in gioco la vita di Josh, è pronto anch'egli ad armarsi di fucile.
