When her father is hanged for shooting his wife and her lover, the biracial Pearl Chavez goes to live with distant relatives in Texas. Welcomed by Laura Belle and her elder lawyer son Jesse, she meets with hostility from the ranch-owner himself, wheelchair-bound Senator Jackson McCanles, and with lustful interest from demonizing, unruly younger son Lewt. Almost at once, already existing family tensions are exacerbated by her presence and the way she is physically drawn to Lewt.
本片曾獲1947年兩項奧斯卡金像獎提名。女主角珍妮佛瓊斯所飾的珍珠為印第安與白人之混血，父親被判吊刑，臨刑前將珍珠託付友人，友人之夫財富宛如帝國，有兩子，一子狂蕩，一子為溫文之律師，兩人皆愛珍珠，律師主張讓鐵路跨越農場，其父斥為大逆不道逐出家門，之後一段家庭與愛情的愛恨情仇，便糾纏著這三個人。
導演將人性間的衝突掌握地相當出色，而男主角約瑟夫戈登及女主角珍妮佛瓊斯的演技更是絲絲入扣，是不能錯過的好作品。
