젊은 변호사 랜스는 죽마고우였던 톰의 장례식을 위해 텍사스의 작은 마을인 신본으로 향하고, 가는 도중 회상에 잠긴다. 예전의 신본은 리버티 밸런스라는 무법자 때문에 온 동네가 공포 그 자체였다. 신본에 도착한 랜스는 법으로 리버티를 응징하려고 하지만 무법자에게 법이 통할리 만무하다. 이 때 신본에서 리버티를 대적할 유일한 사람인 톰은 리버티에게 맞설 수 있는 방법은 오직 '총'뿐이라고 말한다. 랜스와 톰은 표면적으로 '법'과 '총'이라는 견해 차이를 보이는데 그 내면에는 할리라는 여인을 차지하고자 하는 마음이 있다. 그러는 사이 리버티의 만행은 갈수록 심해지고 최후의 시간이 다가온다.

테네시주의 작은 마을, 고등학교 과학 교사 버트램 케이츠가 주(州) 법을 어겨 재판을 받게 된다. 케이츠가 금기인 다윈의 진화론을 아이들에게 가르쳤기 때문이다. 저명한 정치가이자 보수적인 근본주의자 매튜 브래디가 검찰 측을 지원하고 나선다. 한편, 역시 유명한 변호사이며, 논쟁적인 법의식을 가진 브래디의 라이벌 헨리 드러먼드가 케이츠의 변호를 맡는다. 창조론과 진화론이 맞붙은 이 뜨겁고 치열한 법정 공방에 언론의 관심까지 집중되며, 마을을 넘어 미 전역이 들썩이게 된다. 1925년에 실제로 일어났던 세기의 ‘원숭이 재판’을 소재로 한 희곡을 각색한 작품. 크레이머는 창조론과 진화론이 충돌한 이 사건을 매카시즘을 논할 매개로써 활용했으며, 영화를 통해 지적인 담론을 이어간다. 이후 여러 차례 TV 드라마로 리메이크되기도 했다.
A young man without surname inherits a big indebted ranch and has to prove his worthiness managing a cattle drive.
Steve Llewellyn hung up his guns after killing a man in self-defense, left Willow Creek and went on the drift for five years. Now he’s back. And the bad blood stirred up by his return and the violence caused by a cattleman’s grab for all the good grasslands mean Steve must strap on his sidearms again. Rod Cameron -- who became a marquee draw with a pair of espionage serials in the 1940s and went on to establish himself as a popular cowboy star -- makes Steve a hero to reckon with in Short Grass, one of the actor’s 10 films with busy shoot-‘em-up director Lesley Selander. Johnny Mack Brown, a sagebrush stalwart in his own right, plays the marshal who allies with Steve. Adding to the Western pedigree is costar Cathy Downs, who plays the title role in the iconic My Darling Clementine. Buffs will note other familiar faces, including Alan Hale, Jr., well remembered as the skipper who takes a “three-hour tour” to Gilligan’s Island.
