The Virginian

In the 1880s, spunky young Molly Wood (Barbara Britton) chooses to leave her Vermont home for an exciting life as a schoolteacher in the small western cattle town of Bear Creek, Wyo. Settling into her new home, she's befriended by a kindhearted but stern ranch foreman known only as the Virginian (Joel McCrea). As he attempts to woo the standoffish schoolmarm, the Virginian must also deal with a set of cattle rustlers led by the villainous Trampas (Brian Donlevy).
